Discussion in 'New York City FC' started by NDfootballer7, Oct 11, 2011.
NO. Don't ask about Orlando, ONLY NYC! lol lol
Just kidding!
Not really. Minneapolis is a ploy to get more funds for a pointy ball stadium, Orlando doesn't have the financial strength in it's ownership group although it's drawing incredibly well for third tier. Two cities further along are Las Vegas and Detroit, Detroit has the stadium but a rather crazy plan for it and Vegas is close to sealing a stadium deal with even local politicians commenting positively on it. Although we don't know anything about what a Vegas group would look like aside from the guy driving the stadium deal.
To be honest when we spoke in June it didn't seem like there was a tangible proposal on the line from anywhere. Atlanta was dead, the news was reporting Detroit making moves and he shot that down. I'm starting to wonder if 20 might actually be a bit of a fight to find ... with the relative high cost and the need for an SSS and so on. I might be more inclined to ask him if NYC2 has competition from anywhere at this point ...
I wonder if Garber has had any thought of eventually asking either of the 2 eventual "unsuccessful" investors for NY2 if they would be interested in buying out RB at NY1? My guess is that if Garber thinks that all 3 investors are qualified, he will "find" a team for each of them.
Is RB interested in selling?
Why would he do that? While you guys may not like Red Bull and may be opposed to them owning a team, what exactly have they done that would make Garber want them to get bought out? They have spent money on big name DP's, they spent money on getting a top class stadium done, and they are working hard on getting a practice facility done. From a league perspective, they are good investors and owners as long as they stay committed. Why sell it to another group of individuals who may ultimately be like Stan Kronke? I know a lot of people get hung up on the fact that they see RBNY as purely a marketing scheme. If you get past that for just one second you will see that they are better owners than at least 3 or 4 ownership groups right off the bat.
Imagine you had to chant, "come on Red Bull" Just imagine that for a second.
A lot of people for the MLS2NYC movement criticize the Cosmos for not making statements and press releases. However, it appears that the investors that have the most "ins" and most likely to get into MLS haven't said a word. Why are we so angry that the Cosmos went public? And why is it a good strategy to publicly bash them when we want to convince the more powerful investors to help our cause? After FCNY and Cosmos, it would appear that not contacting us would be a good PR strategy. And maybe that's what these guys are doing.
Wait, why are we angry that the Cosmos went public, or didn't go public?
No. That maybe not going public is the better PR move for whatever potential ownership group there is.
They were trying to use their PR and brand recognition to force garbers hand. In there case - with a brand like that - with history and the big stars - its better to be out in peoples faces - because you can grow an interest (which they have done).
however, there seems to be the issue of them finishing the job. Either way - seems like they pumped the brand up and lay down the groundwork for a club to either 1) get garber to accept them as is or 2) if he doesnt - find someone with deeper pockets to buy the brand off them.
Either case - I have had recent conversations with their front office and they are aware that all the fans anger was self inflicted.
They made promises - and they look in trouble of being fulfilled - they deserve the fans being rough on them - their only redemption is to get the job done and prove the fans wrong.
Depends what your motives are. Part of the Cosmos motivation is to use the brand to move merchandise, so they don't have a choice but to go public with things. The other NY2 investors don't have that motivation, so they don't need to go public. So, from a MLS franchise viewpoint, the Cosmos being public probably isn't the best strategy, but they don't have any choice if they want to move merchandise.
That's all well and good that they admit that but can they tell us what the plan is , we know they want MLS but what is the big problem, there in the cross hairs now of everyone who supports them and of everyone who has turned against them, so why not come out and tell us what they need to do , what is the hold up, who actually owns the team, and if you get that info what are the new owners planning to do. As for Garber's other potential bidders who are they and why do they think that if they buy the team we will support them without hearing what vision they might have for the club. All this in house crap is BS with MLS because ultimately it's the fans that will make the venture successful not them.
if this is garber's way of getting media attention and trying to hype NY2 for MLS it's a big fing FAIL!
I agree
Well first, their may be good reasons for a potential group of investors not to go public. It really depends on the circumstances. The Cosmos felt, and I think rightfully, under their circumstances that they should go public.... I mean, it appears that there is very little there there without Anomoly and the PR strategy.
So they engaged us, and we engaged them. A nice symbiotic relationship. But if you're suggesting that the fans should step up and cheer when they need you, and sit down, shut up and make nice when they don't, I think that's a mistake. The truth is, and I mean it with the utmost respect for the Cosmos FO who have been largely good to us, that we got attention from them when we were critical than when we made nice.
That's how the world works, bro.
Thx , i also want to know where the podcast people are and the journalists that cover soccer in NY/NJ area are on this , they need to dig deep hear and find out what's going on. It's a nice thing to cover the buzz about NY 2 and The Cosmos but please go back to your investigative side and find out who hold the rights to the Cosmos who did PK make a deal with. This stuff should be attainable some how. Was there a fly on the wall at RB Arena that can tell yus who the hell was in Garber's booth. Come on people i'm calling you out.
Or if you are going to go public.. Don't lie.
We need the Jack Bells of the world to step up - not bloggers or podcast people - real professionals who can get to the bottom of shit - Jack Bell has an inside track to the Mos - he needs to do a piece
You mean "The Rise and Fall and Fall of the NY Cosmos" bye JB LOL!
NOGO in SOHO - LOL
ah - still - i want to know more about these other investors as well - lots going on huh
The fact that PK has not been heard from besides sitting on Hathaway's throne speaks volumes if u ask me. He is so gone!
Who are the "3 Potential Investors for NY2"?:
1. Mets (Wilpon)?
2. Saudi guys?
3. ???????????
Garber waiting...$$$$$$$$
Paul K. waiting...$$$$$$$$
1 doubtful.. Too much to clean up with Mets to even think about moving into a new sport anytime soon.
2 I'm not convinced this rumor is real.
I'm just hope it's not the worse owner in all of sports who is in on this,, Mr James Dolan.
The thing that I'm the most curious of, is if an ownership goes in and gets the nod, will the Cosmos hold on to the brand? Will it make any sense for them to do so, especially with such confusion up top? Will they sell?
And? That has nothing to do with Garber and the board of directors wanting a new owner, which is what the OP was talking about. Again, you guys may not like RB and that is fine (and part of me understands). But from a business standpoint (which is one of the things Garber and the board worry about) they are a good addition right now.
Separate names with a comma.

The VX Deluxe from Yamaha is flat-out the #1 selling waverunner in the Yamaha lineup. It's a winning combination of performance and affordability. Yamaha says that their mission statement for the VX Deluxe was simple..." have fun on the water, but don't spend a lot doing it." Evidently, it's a plan that worked, since it's their best-selling waverunner by a long shot. It's got everything the start-up rider would want, and leaves off the top end features that only the true aficionados would require. And it's all at a price that is hard to resist. Add to that Yamaha financing and the brand's reputation for reliability and...there goes another unit out the door.
Key Features

analysisBy Liesl Louw-Vaudran
In his latest music video, world-renowned Senegalese pop star Youssou N'Dour does what he does best. His song, One Africa, performed with vocalist Idylle Mamba from the Central African Republic (CAR), is a sterling example of N'Dour's unique style that mixes French lyrics with Wolof (a local language in Senegal) and his trademark Mbalax rhythms. The song is an emotional call for peace in the troubled CAR where Christians and Muslims remain engaged in a bitter conflict.
The video includes images of Senegal's first president Léopold Sédar Senghor. A Christian leader in a predominantly Muslim country, he was an example of religious tolerance.
The video goes on to show Muslim imams and Christian pastors in the CAR holding hands amid the destruction of the conflict that has torn communities apart. The lyrics are mostly French and Mamba, who lives in Cameroon, might not be that well known to her fellow Central Africans, but this is certainly a positive message.
However, the question may be asked whether the message will indeed reach the right people. To what extent are musicians or artists able to contribute to peacebuilding in Africa, especially given the dearth of good leadership on the continent? Cynical observers will say that it is merely a way for musicians to attract attention and improve their sales.
For some, activism could involve mainly photo opportunities. Institutions like the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Education Science and Culture Organisation (UNESCO) have long since recognised the power of associating a famous face with a good cause.
Goodwill ambassadors include stars like Nigeria's Femi Kuti (pictured), Benin's Grammy-winning singer, Angélique Kidjo, and Colombia's Shakira. South African actress Charlize Theron has been a United Nations Messenger of Peace since 2008 - along with the likes of United States musician Stevie Wonder, and actor George Clooney.
Others, however, devote a lot of time and energy to trying to make the world a better place. Two musicians who are especially famous for their activism in Africa and, by extension, hobnobbing with powerful politicians are Bono from U2, and Bob Geldof, who led the Live Aid campaign to raise money for Ethiopian famine victims in the 1980s.
Both singers are still involved in various initiatives, following the Live 8 project in 2005 that accompanied former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's Commission for Africa, on which Geldof served. Their 'Make Poverty History' campaign to scrap debt and increase aid to Africa was severely criticised, but it did raise global awareness of these issues.
The difference between these artist-activists and personalities like N'Dour, however, is that the former have not, so far, run for political office. Raising awareness and speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos is one thing, but being in the executive is quite another. Dare one say that being a politician is a job?
Haitian President Michel Martelly, for example, was a well-known musician before reaching the highest office in that country. Superstar Wyclef Jean also attempted to stand for president in the election that brought Martelly to power in 2010. N'Dour, who tried to run for president in 2012, is now an advisor to Senegalese President Macky Sall, with the rank of minister.
N'Dour is well liked and must be admired for his grassroots projects and investment in the media in Senegal. But he seems to be diplomatic only when it suits him. During an interview with French media on 16 March, N'Dour surprised some by attacking non-Africans for meddling in Uganda's affairs.
Asked about Uganda's harsh anti-homosexuality laws, N'Dour, who was Senegal's Minister of Tourism until September last year, accused the media and outsiders of dictating to Africa.
'Why don't you rather speak about children dying of AIDS in Uganda?' he asked. N'Dour pointed out that in Senegal, Sall didn't shy away from defending his country's position on gay rights when US President Barack Obama visited in June last year. In Senegal, homosexuality is punishable by up to five years in prison.
The role of musicians, well-known personalities and artists in peacemaking is not a straightforward issue. Throughout history there are examples of famous people who were both artists and activists. In fact, some will argue that all art is political.
Where would women's rights in Africa be without the likes of Miriam Makeba and Brenda Fassie? The 'Free Mandela' campaign in the '70s and '80s wouldn't have gathered momentum without the contribution of artists and musicians from around the world. And how many outside South Africa would have known about Steve Biko if it hadn't been for Peter Gabriel's hit single, Biko?
Artists can indeed change the world. The struggle against apartheid in South Africa is a classic example of how singers and performing artists raised awareness and campaigned to support sanctions and put pressure on the government. In more recent times, rap artists have played a major role in the Arab Spring in countries such as Tunisia in 2011.
Also in 2011, the Senegalese rap group Y'en a Marre (meaning 'fed up') played an important role in the popular protest movement to convince former President Abdoulaye Wade not to stand for a third term.
In the end, Wade managed to have his candidature accepted by the courts, but the mass mobilisation - which included N'Dour - was seen to have contributed to the overwhelming victory of Sall in the March 2012 run-off elections.
Youssou N'Dour is correct when he says - referring to One Africa - that 'a song can get the message out there quicker than a political speech.' Ultimately though, to really work, the message for peace must also come from the politicians.
*The African Centre for Peace and Security Training at ISS Addis Ababa is hosting a training session from 14-25 April 2014 entitled 'The artist as peacebuilder'.

Dear editor,
William "Uncle Billy" Lundy was much loved and admired by his fellow citizens of Crestview.
When he passed away as the last Confederate soldier in Florida, a memorial was built for him at the intersection of Highways 85 and 90.
At this memorial — and rightly so — was a flagpole on which flew the soldier's flag, which "Uncle Billy," along with thousands of other Floridians, followed into the din of battle; thus, it was called a battle flag, and was not only easier to see than older patterns, but also was very symbolic.
Its model was the St. Andrew's Cross of Scotland, which bore the white x on a field of blue. X in the Greek alphabet represents the letter c in our current alphabet, and was to represent Christ.
This was very fitting because the Confederate Army was the most Christian in the world.
It has been reported that the NAACP will be asking Crestview's mayor and city council to remove this soldier's flag from William Lundy's Memorial, which was moved several blocks north and now resides on 1st Street.
If the citizens of Crestview want to keep this honorable monument and flag together — designed and built as William Lundy would have wanted it — and if you want to defend this memorial and our Southern heritage, please contact Crestview Mayor David Cadle at his office, 682-3812.

Feel my rage.
See my flames.
I could bust.
When's enough,enough.
Being the common man's tough.
A breath of this fresh, country air,
is just enough.
To keep me from going nuts.
Who cares...
Who's who,

As long as my days turn to night,

"I'm living the good life",

If only Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. could see his vision become a reality, as the nation celebrated his birthday Monday January 20, 2014.
Dr. King was born January 15, 1929 and cited his famous I have a dream speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963.
A dream comes true because Dr. King was the fore-runner of what we enjoy today as Americans, and for me to live to see a black president has been another dream come true, said 90-year-old Sarah T. Hudson, a retired educator of Georgetown, S.C.
Ms. Hudson and hundreds joined in the celebration of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast hosted by the Georgetown County Boys Mentor Group in the Glisson Room at Bethel AME Church in Georgetown.
Dr. Randy Dozier, Judge Jan Holmes of family court, Ron Charlton and Lillie Jean Johnson of Georgetown County Council, Sandra Johnson of the School Board, former School District chairman Charlesann Buttone, retired deputy superintendent Jonathan Moultrie, City Council member Peggy Wayne, Rep. Carl Anderson, and Jeff Malinski, general manager of the Georgetown Hospital System-Sodexo were some of the elected officials and dignitaries who attended the celebration.
Since the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. some 46 years ago there is togetherness among the various races at celebrations across the nation.
Dr. Martin Luther Kings dream has allowed us to express freedom; we are able to get along as a people, and living as one in the community.
Its time to get along and more people are realizing the importance of this day, added Jeff Malinski.
His staff at the Georgetown Hospital (Sodexo) donated the food for the breakfast.
I did not know the impact of today.
I will see what I can do to continue to be a part of this celebration, said Malinski.
The Program
Breakfast was served by the Georgetown Delta Sigma Theta.
President Marthena Morant and chairperson Vervatine Reid said their organization was there to support the national initiative program EMBODI that stands for Empowering Black Males Opportunity for Independence, offering their services to the Boys Mentor Group.
The organization that had a vision to help young African American males began 20 years ago at the old Choppee High School.
William Greene, Charles Freeman, Darren Vanderhorst, Robert Horry, and Tyrone Greene believed that there was a need to guide young African American men by way of mentoring, to become productive citizens and future leaders of the community.
Randy Ford was the driving force that created the Boys Mentor Group.
I saw a need for young men to mentor.
I wanted to empower the young men to become productive citizens and to create a career for themselves.
I wanted to offer our young men an opportunity to be exposed to culture, activities, and to learn about life.
Its a big world out there, added Ford.
The Boys Mentor Group began twelve years ago.
As the guests ate their breakfast 15-year-old boys mentor Kewaun Myers played musical selections on his keyboard.
In every aspect of the program each mentoring boy participated.
Naquez Pringle led the group in the pledge of allegiance, Dwayne Britton was the presider, Joekwon Linnen did the welcome, and De-Montae Wright read a poem he wrote about Dr. King.
The speaker of the hour was J.Michael Salley.
Michael Salley is the owner/president, CEO of Salley Wealth Advisors Group, LLC,Summerville S.C.
He attended Queens College/CUNY in Flushing, New York graduating with a B.A. degree in American History/Political Science.
He began his career on Wall Street in 1979 at Merrill Lynch, where he was trained as a financial advisor.
He instructed the Mentoring Boys on how success begins.
Success starts at home.
Honor and have respect for your parents.
He also gave the recipe for success planning, passion, persistence and patience.
Dr. King was filled from head to toe with persistence, added Salley.
At the conclusion of the program presentations were acknowledged.
Rep. Carl Anderson presented the Mentor Boys with a check for $1,000 to help them with their upcoming trip to Washington, D.C.
Jonathan Moultrie was given an award for his involvement in the community and how he has over the years impacted the lives of so many young people.
Jeff Malinski of the Georgetown Hospital (Sodexo) was also presented an award.
A cake was lit with a candle honoring the 20-year anniversary of the group that got together at the old Choppee High School some twenty years ago; that wanted to make a difference in the lives of young African American men, and in the future young women.
The program ended with the traditional Negro spiritual We shall overcome.

Butternut Squash & Kale Quesadillas
I am a passionate lover of butternut squash. I've written before about how a spoonful of butternut squash puree (spiked with a little bit of butter and maple syrup, of course) can make me close my eyes and be transported to a whole other realm. It's serious. As in, I really do think there's some kind of dopamine-elevating chemical somewhere in there.
While it's a slightly different kind of love, I'm also crazy about kale…right along with four million thousand trillion other people in the world. Kale is such a trend right now—one knows this if one ever frequents Pinterest—and I try to stay away from trends because otherwise I feel like I'm trying to be one of the cool kids when deep down, I'm so not one of the cool kids. But with kale, I simply can't stay away. It's so wonderful. It makes me realize that sometimes trends are trends for good reason. It's not always just for the sake of being a trend!
Kale is good for you. So, so good for you. And it's got a nice texture, a strong flavor…when you eat it you can hear your body thanking you in nine different languages, only two or three of which you understand.
Butternut squash is good for you, too. So late yesterday, to celebrate my transition into another year of my life, I cooked up some squash and kale and got into lots of delicious mischief.
Here's one of the things I made:
Start by cutting up a butternut squash, which is a little intimidating. But it doesn't have to be! Just follow the next eighty-seven steps and you'll be fine!
Just kidding. There aren't that many steps.
First, lop off the top of the squash…
Speaking of "lop," I knew Marlboro Man were entering into another season of our life together when I got him loppers for his birthday one year.
If you do not know what loppers are, consider yourself lucky. I hope your man enjoys his bottle of Aramis.
Use a potato or vegetable peeler to peel off the skin, which comes off really easily.
I would like to take this opportunity to share that while my daughters were at their soccer practice in the big city on Saturday, I went to get a manicure. I'm so proud of it, I will be bending over backwards to show you my nails all throughout this post.
Until you see no more sign of it. Just pure, unadulterated butternut squash.
You can throw this away if you want, or throw it in the compost heap.
Now, cut the squash in half where the skinner part meets the larger part.
Slice both pieces down the middle…
Then use a spoon to scoop the seeds and pulp out of the larger pieces. (The other end of the squash doesn't have any seeds/pulp, so you won't have to worry about that.)
Slice the chunks of squash into large slices…
And cut the stacks into sticks.
Then rotate the sticks and cut them into a nice, neat dice!
No matter what your chunks look like, just cut them into sticks and cut the sticks into a dice…
Until the whole dang squash is diced.
I have a new manicure. Did you hear?
Throw some butter and olive oil into a big ol' skillet…
And throw in the squash. I actually wound up doing two skillets because I wanted the squash to get some nice color and not be crowded.
By the way, did you know I got my nails painted?
And did you know my hand is actually not a hand, but a wrinkled baby Shar Pei puppy? Except not one of the cute ones.
What in the world is going on with my hand? I promise when Marlboro Man takes my hand on moonlit walks, it doesn't look like this. And we don't take moonlit walks. It's way too cold. But if we did, and if he took my hand when we did, my hand would look nothing like the above photo.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this: Sprinkle a good amount of salt in the skillet.
Then add a good amount of pepper.
(Manicure sighting! Manicure sighting!)
It gives the squash a nice spice, a nice edge, a nice addition of danger, a nice level of risk. I'll stop now.
Cook the squash over high heat, using a spatula to turn it over gently from time to time, until it's nice and deep golden brown.
Remove it to a plate and set it aside for a bit.
Next, grab the kale! And oh…if you don't know kale very well (or if your only experience with kale is halfheartedly admiring it as a salad bar garnish) you must dive into the world.
I just tear the kale off of the stalks in pieces…
Using my freshly manicured hand to grasp the stalks as I go.
Keep going until you have a nice big pile of kale.
Throw a little extra butter into the skillet and crank the heat to medium to medium-high.
And toss it around with tongs.
Cook it for a few minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
One of the things I love about kale is how well it holds up when it cooks. Even though I love spinach, it only takes a short time before it wilts, then just a little more time before it's really soggy and mushy. Kale, on the other hand, stays crisp longer.
Oh, and it's very kaley tasting. Which makes sense, I guess.
Next, just add the squash to the kale…
And gently toss it around. Isn't this a pretty color combination?
(Pssst: After I made a quesadilla, I tossed the rest of the squash/kale mixture with some cooked bowtie pasta, some Parmesan shavings, and some crushed red pepper flakes for a different meal altogether. Delicious!)
Let this sit for a little bit.
Grate up some Monterey Jack cheese, because it's yummy and melts real good-like…
Then lightly brown the tortillas on both sides in a buttered skillet over medium heat. I usually like to heat both sides of the tortillas before I assemble the quesadillas, because it helps facilitate the melting step, because it makes the quesadillas nice and slightly crisp inside and out, and because I'm weird.
Sprinkle plenty of cheese onto one of the tortillas…
Then top with plenty of the squash/kale mix.
Use your hand, which has been recently manicured, to place a second toasted tortilla on top.
Flip it over, and continue cooking it until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot.
Use a pizza cutter to slice the quesadilla into four wedges.
I've never been more excited about anything in my life.
I served it with a little sour cream and cilantro. The creaminess was really nice with the squash. If I'd had some pico de gallo, I would have thrown that on too, along with a few slices of avocado.
Try this (relatively) healthy quesadilla soon! Note that the kale flavor really asserts itself. If you're a lover of kale, this is a very good thing! If you don't have a lot of kale experience…be prepared for a nice, interesting change.
Here's the handy dandy printable!

Preparation Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add squash and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Cook for several minutes, turning gently with a spatula, until squash is deep golden brown and tender (but not falling apart.) Remove to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat and add in the kale. Toss it around with tongs and cook it for 3 to 4 minutes. Add in the cooked squash and gently toss together. Set aside.
In a separate skillet, melt additional butter and lightly brown both sides of the 8 tortillas. Build the quesadillas one by one by adding a layer of cheese topped with a layer of the squash/kale mixture, topped with a second tortilla. You'll have four quesadillas when you're done.
Brown each quesadilla on both sides, adding more butter to the pan to make sure tortillas are nice and golden and yummy.
When the cheese is melted, remove each quesadilla from the skillet and cut it into four wedges. Serve with sour cream, cilantro, pico de gallo, salsa, avocado...or any sides you'd like!
(Note: The butternut squash/kale mixture is also great tossed with a little pasta and olive oil, and topped with Parmesan shavings!)

I absolutely love this butternut squash recipe, and I love the way you make your recipes easy to follow.
Jackie Fernandez On Sunday, January 13 at 4:13 pm
These butternut squash and kale quesadilla's were absolutely delicious.I would have never thought of that in a million years.I have a son that is downs and is very picky about what he'll eat. He was going to practice that night for a special Olympic sport and I ask him if he wanted to pick up something to eat when his dad brought him home or if he wanted to taste what I was making and see if he wanted that. My son is 37 now so he knows what he likes and doesn't. He tasted one and said I'll have that.You could have knocked me over with a feather.I put a mix of Monterrey jack and mild cheddar on mine and it's going in to my recipe files for sure.Kind of makes me think out of the box now .Thank you so much for that.
Geni On Sunday, January 13 at 7:00 pm
Just wanted to let you know your recipes were a big hit at our 3 Kings celebration today. We are a week behind because of schedules…but we love it so we could not miss this wonderful celebration. I made your creamy mashed potatoes, the whiskey cream sauce for our rib eye steaks and the burgundy mushrooms. My daughter in law and I were in heaven over them. The men would not take a taste but oh my we were happy that there was more for us. Thanks for all you do

Subbed spinach in place of the kale because I had some on hand. So yummy! I'll have to try another time with kale.
Kathleen On Monday, January 14 at 10:41 am
Made this last night for We Two – Lawsy! Delicious!
LEIGH ANN On Monday, January 14 at 10:58 am
what do you suggest using in place of kale – I couldn't find any kale at the local grocery store the other day. I have brocoli and spinach, variety of colored peppers…would these taste good with butternut squash…I've never eaten this squash before – seriously! And I've never had my nails manicured either!
Paula V On Monday, January 14 at 11:17 am
I counted 8 times you showed your nails, good show. With my hands I would use a stunt hand double. One of my two daughters or 2 granddaughters, and if I am desperate my grandsons lol.

Just ate one of these! OH MAN! So yummy. I'm not usually a butternut squash fan, but these intrigued me. The chili powder was a great touch. The kale was delicious. I absolutely loved these and I will be making them again for sure. Every single recipe I've ever made from this amazing website has been delightful. PW never let's me down!
Jill K On Tuesday, January 15 at 3:15 pm
Love this recipe!!!! I added Penzey`s Chipoltle pepper and Minced onion. Oh. My. Goodness!!!!! You must try it!!!!! So good!!
Mary Grim On Tuesday, January 15 at 7:12 pm
yum isn't descriptive enough! this was super easy, my 7 yearl old LOVED too (plenty of squash and kale-and not his typical faves). Served with avacado slices and fresh salsa.
Delicious! Thank you.
Mariel On Tuesday, January 15 at 8:40 pm
These were amazing! Kale is usually too bitter for me, but the combination of it with the Butternut Squash was so good! Glad I was brave enough to make this! Kids ate it too!

Hey, Ree, did you get a manicure? *wink*
Never would have thought of putting those two things in a quesadilla. May have to be brave and try this one myself.
Oh and LOVE the mani!

PW, I have reached a watershed. I've stopped wishing I could live where you live with all its nature and vigorous, healthy family fun, and started being thankful that we get to have you virtually cooking alongside us.
This post was very good for me because it was reassuring about what I do with b-squash, and got my head around kale, which no-one has been able to do thus far. You're like having a good friend cooking with me.
Thanks for being willing to share so much of your life with the rest of the world. We are the better for it!
Kealani S. On Sunday, January 20 at 5:07 pm
Just made these for lunch. Amazing. But I cheated a little because, I had just bought pre-cubed, organic butternut squash at Costco. Thanks for the recipe! Will definitely be on the menu again soon.
Pierre On Sunday, January 20 at 5:11 pm
Really looked forward to try this. Then I realised that not a single shop in my town sells kale, at all. T'is a sad day indeed
Vidya Poyilath On Sunday, January 20 at 5:38 pm
I tried this recipe .. And it turned out awesome!!!!!! Thank you Ree!
PS: I couldn't find kale.. So I used spinach. I loved it. No complaints.

I have never laughed while reading a recipe blog – until now! Awesome!
Natolive On Wednesday, January 23 at 9:56 pm
I tried this recipe tonight, and it was fabulous! Very easy, and it filled my apartment with the most wonderful squashy smells. I added a bit of chopped red onion and substituted Spanish Paprika for the chili powder.
A dollop of plain yogurt was the perfect topping. I'll definitely be trying this recipe again. Thanks!
Tania On Saturday, January 26 at 7:53 pm
I loved this recipe but I am trying to lose some weight. I did everything but instead of quesadillas I made spaghetti squash. Mixed it with everything you had cooked them made a sauce of fat free cream cheese and herbs. What a wonderful dish thank you for the ideas.
Argelia On Tuesday, January 29 at 2:08 pm
Oh my!!! I'm making this tonight…I have all the ingredients. I have two different kinds of squash I purchased at the .99cent store and was wondering what to do with it beside soup. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love your recipes.
gigiann On Wednesday, January 30 at 3:32 pm
I am trying this! Yummy
Lynn Brooks On Tuesday, February 12 at 7:18 pm
I rarely comment but this recipe has made de-lurk My daughter has decided that we have to start eating healthier and adding more vegetables to our meals. Believe it or not I have never eaten butternut squash but I was looking for a recipe with Kale (that I love). We live on TX/NM border so a quesadilla traditionally has MEAT and CHILE and lots of cheese, so I was a little skeptical after reading the ingredients for this one. But I have to say it was DELICIOUS we did add some hot salsa but other than that we followed the recipe. It was quick and easy and sooo GOOD! Will definitely be making this again, Thank you!
kara m. On Sunday, February 17 at 4:01 pm
loved it the first time i made it and now for the second! the leftover filling was perfect for my lunches all week-my little treat:)

nikki On Wednesday, March 6 at 6:48 pm
I love your website, but often can't eat much of what's on here due to dietary restrictions – this recipe however, caught my eye.
Corn, rather than a flour tortilla – healthier, but i also prefer corn
Roast the squash using olive oil (less fat, lose the cow dairy product, AND love the roasted flavor)
Manchego cheese – 'cause I'm lactose intolerant, but tend to do better with sheep/goat cheeses.
Keep the recipes coming – we all love to browse – even if we can't enjoy them ourselves

Loved this! Thank you so much for posting. I made a vegan version of it last night with Daiya cheese and corn tortillas and they were delicious. I had to share the link to your recipe with coworkers today because it was so darn good.
KelliSue On Wednesday, March 13 at 8:39 am
Add a little crispy bacon bites to the quesadilla and the whole family will eat them down so fast they can't say "Hey Mom, what is kale anyway?"
Trust me on this. Just chop up some cooked bacon and…. step back and enjoy the magic. Thanks PW for the great ideas!
Susansa On Tuesday, March 19 at 4:53 pm
Oh, that looks delicious!!! And if you like roasted pumpkin seeds you will LOVE roasted butternut squash seeds!
Milou On Wednesday, March 20 at 6:51 am
LOL. It looks delicious, but if you literally bake everything in butter there is no way in hell that this is healthy.. I'll definitely make this though, it looks yummy, but will probably use olive or coconut oil.
Dinner In Venice On Thursday, March 21 at 2:23 pm
My mom is from Tuscany and I grew up with kale (we call it "cavolo nero", black cabbage, and it's the star ingredient of our twice-baked bread soup, the famous ribollita). Until a few years ago, kale was hard to find outside of those rural areas that produced it: now it's everywhere, and I love to learn new ways to use it! These quesadillas look so tasty, and they are probably chock-full of vitamins
Kiki D. On Monday, March 25 at 7:14 pm
Ohh.. how I love butternut squash.. kale and a great manicure! We've got a bag in the kitchen now that is waiting to transform into kale chips.. but I think I may be able to convince my little ones and the hubby into this yummy quesadilla! And my birthday is just one day before yours.. January babies rock with creativity!! Thanks for sharing your love with all of us!
Marcelle On Tuesday, March 26 at 3:14 pm
Your recipe card fails to mention the necessity of a manicure. Perhaps item number one could involve "choose your shade — perky persimmon or retro red" and later you could instruct all to flip the quesadillas in such a way as to catch the sunlight on your lovely nails…
Angela Magnotti Andrews On Friday, April 5 at 8:07 pm
This will be our second time making these yummy quesadillas. The first time around, my tortillas and squash chunks were too big. This time, I've cut the squash into smaller cubes and have smaller tortillas, which will make all the difference. I also have a couple of trusty helpers this time. My girlie is grating cheese while my son laughed his way through your very detailed instructions. He was highly amused at every mention of your manicured nails, and he commented that he really likes the lipstick-red color you chose. Though he will likely only eat a few bites of the veggies and then opt for a plain jack quesadilla, he will have a better appreciation for all the steps that go into making a yummy and healthy dinner like this one. Thanks again, Pioneer Woman!

A unique connection with another….
that is irreplaceable.
The time you told your dad that the only prince you wanted to marry was him.
Your sister who never saw eye to eye with you, who you now cannot live without.
The woman who understands you most, that treasured best friend.
The day you said "I do" to the man of your dreams.
Your daughter who you see more of yourself in each and every day.
Or the love that keeps growing…year after year.
Moments like these….
Relationships like these…
Connections like these…..
Are Irreplaceable.

VA Terror Suspect Wanted To Help FBIJuly 26, 2010 - 5:57 PM | by: Mike Levine
Within hours of his arrest, the Virginia man who allegedly threatened the creators of the television show "South Park" and then tried to join an Al Qaeda-linked group in East Africa told U.S. agents he wanted to help the FBI in their fight against terrorism, according to federal prosecutors and the man's own defense attorney.
Federal agents arrested 20-year-old Zachary Chesser on Wednesday, after a months-long investigation into at least two alleged attempts to join the Somalia-based group al-Shabaab, which has been fighting to establish a strict Muslim state in Somalia and has pledged its allegiance to Usama bin Laden. Chesser is now charged with providing material support to a terrorist group.
On the day of his arrest, Chesser told FBI agents he was "willing to assist the FBI with a few things," but in exchange he wanted the FBI to send him overseas, possibly to East Africa, Justice Department lawyer John Gibbs told a federal judge during a hearing on Monday. Public defender Michael Nachmanoff acknowledged that Chesser talked about "potentially working for" or "working with" the FBI.
Only months earlier, in a message posted online, Chesser denounced FBI Director Robert Mueller as the U.S. government's "chief spy," saying it is "both ironic and promising" that many Americans had already joined al-Shabaab.
"Robert Mueller said he is 'absolutely' afraid that more heroes like [them] … will answer the call of Jihad," Chesser wrote in an online message posted April 1, according to charging documents filed in the case. "This is a call to action and a call to fulfill your obligation as a Muslim to defend your brothers and sisters."
Chesser's other writings were even more threatening, prosecutors told the judge on Monday as they urged that Chesser be detained until trial.
During the FBI's investigation, agents found a "hand-written document" titled "How to Destroy the West," according to Gibbs. The document, allegedly written by Chesser, discussed ways of attacking the United States and other countries, including cyber-attacks, vehicles filled with explosives, and the bio-agent ricin, Gibbs said.
In addition, Chesser communicated several times with Anwar Awlaki, the U.S.-born cleric tied to several recent terrorist plots inside the United States, prosecutors said. He also posted an array of "extremist" videos, "jihad propaganda" and other potentially dangerous materials online, including a leaked version of sensitive Transportation Security Administration guidelines and a message suggesting the creators of the show "South Park" could face death for their depiction of the prophet Mohammed, according to prosecutors.
"He represents a very real danger either here in the United States or overseas with the information he's able to disseminate," Gibbs told U.S. Magistrate Judge Ivan Davis. "For the past year, this defendant's job has been writing about, talking about and preparing for jihad overseas."
During several interviews with the FBI over the past year, Chesser — also known as "Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee" — told agents he tried to go to Somalia at least twice to join al-Shabaab as a "foreign fighter," according to prosecutors.
Most recently, on July 10, he and his infant son were prevented from boarding a flight from New York to Uganda because Chesser was on the "no fly" list. Chesser told FBI agents he hoped his son would act as a "cover" for his travels, prosecutors said.
Chesser "effectively confessed" to the charges against him, Gibbs told Davis on Monday.
Nachmanoff, Chesser's court-appointed attorney, insisted Chesser is not as much a threat as prosecutors allege, and he should be released until trial.
"The government has made a big deal of the fact that he's tried to go overseas," but in reality Chesser has hardly traveled overseas, Nachmanoff told the judge.
In addition, Nachmanoff said, Chesser poses "no greater, no less" of a potential security threat or flight risk than he has over the past year, when for months federal agents watching Chesser declined to arrest him.
Davis, though, sided with prosecutors, saying that Chesser's online postings and self-proclaimed willingness to "die for Islam" were concerning. But, Davis said, "the most significant" public safety concern Chesser's willingness to bring his infant son to war-torn Somalia.
"If he's not going to look out for his 7-month-old child, then the court is required to do so," Davis said.
Chesser's next court date was not set.

Virginia Beach, Va. – A 67-year-old Virginia Beach woman says she never thought she'd fall victim to a scam.
But last month when a man called her saying she won over $5 million dollars in sweepstakes money, she says excitement clouded her brain.
"He keeps telling me I'm your angel, it's a legitimate and something, it's not a scam," she told NewsChannel 3's Jackie Morlock.
But, there was one catch: "He said but you have to pay for the insurance and you have to pay like 1% to mail it or to send it to you."
Even though she already had nearly $100,000 in savings, she says $5 million would go a whole lot further for her and her family. And, she says that's what made her fall for it.
"I got greedy. I said I can, you know, change my life and help my family."
But now, she says she has nothing left.
"I said, 'Oh my God what did I do?'"
NewsChannel 3 took action and called the 1-800 number for the US Sweepstakes, the company she says that was behind the phone call.
Virginia Beach Police say they're doing their best to investigate, but it's very unlikely the woman will ever see her money again.
In the meantime, that woman says she lost more than just money; she also lost trust in other people.
"I feel guilty, I feel miserable." She added, "It's hard, but I will recover."
In February, Virginia Beach Police say they're holding an educational seminar for seniors to discuss scams like this in more depth.
In the meantime, the state attorney general reminds everyone that legitimate sweepstakes do not require you to pay anything in advance to get your winnings.

Last month, TV5 and GMA-7 decided to challenge the dominance of the 15-year-old ANC. On Feb. 21, The Kapatid Network launched Aksyon TV on UHF Channel 41 while the Kapuso organization premiered its own version, GMA News TV on Feb. 28 through the network's other VHF channel, the former QTV-11.
TV5 can be viewed on Destiny on Channel 7 but not yet on the Lopez-owned Sky Cable, which has a commanding share of the cable market. The Lopez group, of course, owns ABS-CBN so loyalists of TV5 are crying "foul." Since I am a Sky subscriber, I have not been able to watch any of the Aksyon programs.
GMA News TV broadcasts through Channel 11 on free-to-air TV and Channel 24 on Sky. While ANC is on the air 24/7, GNTV signs off at 12 midnight and returns at 6 a.m. I anticipate, though, that it will match ANC's 24-hour schedule in the future, The Kapuso news channel uses Tagalog for all of its shows, which means that it's targeting the mass audience. This seems logical as a huge percentage of free-TV viewers belong to the CDE socio-economic class. ANC talents and guests usually speak English based on the assumption that cable subscribers belong to the ABC economic group.
GNTV identifies itself as a news and public affairs channel, and there's plenty on its schedule. Aside from the regular newscasts and hourly updates, issue-oriented shows are plentiful. I am particularly interested in Winnie Monsod's "Bawal ang Pasaway" (not the kind of title you would put on an ANC show) which will probably feature Winnie's well-researched comments on pressing issues of the day. Jessica Soho's "State of the Nation" had a revealing look at the state of the shipping industry the other day. Veteran journalist Malou Mangahas, who is known for her investigative reports, will be handling hot documentaries.
I notice though that the channel has more lifestyle and entertainment shows compared to ANC. This can probably be explained by GNTV's masa-oriented programming. There's a daily show biz newscast hosted by Rhian Ramos, a gossip show called Tweetbiz Insiders, a fashion-oriented production hosted by Solenn Heusaff, and various shows targeted at housewives. Then there are the holdovers shows like "American Idol" which will still run for three more months. There are also religious programs.
With three news channels, viewers who are tired of the endless teleseryes and talent search formats will now have more relevant choices. I wonder, though, how this will affect the profit and loss figures of the Big 3 networks. To start with, advertisers only allocate a small portion of their budgets to non-entertainment shows. With additional news groups competing for the small advertising pie, none of them will probably realize a profit.
I realize, of course, it's not all about a healthy bottomline. It's the psychic income that is driving ABS-CBN, TV 5 and GMA-7 to beef up their news departments. Prestige is a valuable commodity that can be more precious than the monetary earnings of a network.

Twitter row rumbles on with 'bully tactics' claim
Posted: August 28, 2013|
A NEW 'ambassador' for equality and diversity for Burton Labour Party has hit out at a Tory councillor for his use of 'dangerous bully tactics'.
The Mail reported on Saturday how Craig Jones (pictured), Burton Labour Party's equality and diversity coordinator, had been criticised by Conservative county councillor Conor Wileman for using a disparaging term to describe the town on Twitter.
Councillor Wileman, county councillor for Burton Tower division, said someone in Mr Jones' position should not be 'talking the town down'.
However, now Mr Jones has written an open letter to numerous senior Tory leaders in East Staffordshire, including MP Andrew Griffiths, slamming Councillor Wileman and requesting an investigation by the Tories into his behaviour.
Mr Jones said in the letter: "I have been active on Twitter for going on five years and have accrued around 90,000 postings and the message highlighted was one between friends and one not immediately visible.
"That's some dedication shown by your councillor. Surely this time would be better spent serving his constituency instead of idly digging up dirt.
"What I do request is that the local party launch an investigation into why one of your own was allowed to take such potentially personally damaging action."
Mr Jones, from Horninglow, added that Councillor Wileman's actions had made the Tory look 'petty, puerile and like he has too much time on his hands'.
He said: "I hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears and I hope, as a local party, you do not condone the use of bullying smear tactics for your own personal political gain, as demonstrated by Councillor Wileman.
"After all my post isn't a publicly elected role, it is something I do because I have a deep care for equality and diversity, meaning that this was, in effect, a politically motivated attack on a member of the public by a county councillor."
Councillor Wileman was approached by the Mail for a response but did not wish to comment.

Testing a Purportedly More Learnable Auction Mechanism
Each year, auctions are used to determine how billions of dollars of goods and services will be allocated across the globe. On eBay alone, $52.5 billion in merchandise was exchanged in 2.4 billion auctions conducted during fiscal year 2006. Considerable attention has been paid in the academic literature to the question of how to design auctions with efficient allocation and revenue-maximizing properties. However, in part because auction rules are typically published and standard theory assumes economic agents are capable of computing optimal strategies from published rules, little attention has been paid to the question of how to design auctions whose optimal strategies are easy to learn. Evidence suggests that even when auction rules are published and dominant strategies exist, people nonetheless struggle and sometimes fail to learn to play their optimal strategy. As a result, the authors argue that the question of how to design a learnable, strategy-proof auction mechanism is an important one. Read More

A Survey-Based Procedure for Measuring Uncertainty or Heterogeneous Preferences in Markets
People who buy retail prescription drugs, invest funds, or participate in auctions rarely have complete information about the product they are buying. Often the only auction information participants have is the number of bidders, observed bids, and product characteristics. If data from an auction, for instance, is a function of bidder behavior, then external survey data may help in testing hypotheses about bidding behavior. Researchers often avoid using surveys because they consume time and effort, but Yin presents a survey design technique and econometric tool to deal with a general population of survey respondents. Her application tested eBay online auctions selling personal computers. Read More

Information Dispersion and Auction Prices
How can auctions be used most effectively? Government and industry traditionally use auctions to price and allocate assets and contracts with high but unknown value. Millions of people use Internet auctions for goods that are often of unknown value (e.g., used goods, unknown brands). This paper asks: Do bidders behave in the way auction theory predicts they should? And, what are the effects of different types of information on prices? To answer these questions, Yin combined theory, econometric modeling, and survey data. Read More

Rihanna has been captured in not one but seven brand spanking new covers for Complex, in celebration of her seventh album, Unapologetic. Of course! How could we forget? That magic number has more than a little significance to her and the other members of the #RihannaPlane. Inside, the February/March cover story presents RiRi as both a perennial chart presence and graduate-level study in social media, thanks to the uncensored sharing of her morning rituals and bedtime companions. Chris Brown is once again a topic of discussion, because he always is where Rihanna is concerned, yet her fearless, intimidating armor proves itself to be penetrable when real emotions surrounding the on-again, off-again and at times, destructive, relationship come into play.
Whether you're looking to defend your unabashed love for RiRi with some shocking yet empowering statements or trying to prepare for just what she could possibly throw at us next, we've pulled her best, DGAF tidbits from the piece. With an upcoming tour it appears this consequence-free living streak isn't going anywhere, and bras are still not a requirement for life on the road. Check it out below.
1. On Her Instagram Activity
"I'm capturing personality… Everybody has their thing they like or don't like to see. It's all in your head. That's why people take their own pictures, because it's difficult for someone else to capture what you seek."
To budding photographers out there, Rihanna also provides some tips for how to take your best "selfie," including: "If it's boobs, make sure you hit that. If it's face, make sure it's fierce."
2. On Always Having a Mouth
"I was so rude when I was a little girl. I got my ass beat by my mother for that. Most of the time it was because of my mouth."
3. On Filling Unapologetic With True Content and Honest Emotions
"I needed to be open and free and fearless. Basically say, 'Fuck it.' What's the worst that can happen? They'll hate me? They've done that before."
4. On Taylor Swift-type Love Songs
"It was giving me hope, that song ['Diamonds']. I was tired of angry love songs. Love doesn't always have to be about breakups, and 'We're never going to be together again.' It could be sweet. It could be, 'Hell yeah! We're diamonds!'"
5. On The Status of Her Relationship with Chris Brown
"It's nobody's business."

Successful examples for the Green Climate Fund from around the world UN...
We seek to create a system that benefits everyone. Whether we're stopping destructive corporate boondoggles or pushing for stronger government pollution standards, we aim to make it possible for all people to enjoy the planet's bounty. Our work focuses on the economic drivers of environmental degradation -- from government subsidies and permits to societal issues like the externalized costs of pollution -- to limit and eventually end the destruction of the planet.
Our current campaigns have us leading the charge to stop genetically engineered foods from finding their way onto our plates, pressuring the federal government to prioritize people instead of polluters, and working to protect bees and other pollinators essential to our food system.
On January 25, the Obama administration announced a plan to protect Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by classifying millions of acres as wilderness. This classification will shield the vulnerable area from oil and gas drilling.
Take action: Let the president know he's making the right choice putting the environment over Big Oil's profits
Bayer is the leading manufacturers of neonicotinoids, and has contributed to countless bee deaths across the globe. Bees and other pollinators are essential to our food system, so we need to speak out and call on Bayer to do the right thing and stop putting their profits over our food system.
Take action: Tell the CEO of Bayer to stop making bee-killing pesticides.
The president has already taken the right step in vetoing the bill forcing approval of the tar sands pipeline, but now he needs to make the right choice and reject the project outright. If the president is to take serious action on climate change, it must start with stopping projects that would fuel more fossil fuel extractions and emissions.
Take action: Raise your voice against the Keystone XL pipeline.
The data is in: Americans do not want genetically engineered seafood to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and they would rather abstain from eating it if GMO fish are approved. Major grocery chains such as Target, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's representing more than 4,400 grocery stores across the country have already committed to not sell GMO seafood. Costco has yet to join its peers and take the pledge against selling GMO salmon and other GMO fish.
