When: Sunday, October 2, 11:00 a.m.
Opponent: @ HC Slovan Bratislava
With just two preseason games remaining, the Rangers' roster
is pretty well set. The drama surrounding
position battles is largely over and now it's about fine-tuning for the regular
For the remaining two preseason games more attention will be
paid to details like the communication of the defense, developing chemistry, execution of the system
and special teams.
The Rangers have been deploying a five-forward power play
recently and plan to this season, but so far the big guns haven't had a whole
lot of work in game action. Tomorrow's
game against HC Slovan Bratislava will be an opportunity for the new Brad
Richards-led unit to find a rhythm before it really starts to count.
The defense must also gel quickly with the status of Mike
Sauer and Marc Staal very much in question. The coaching staff is surely reluctant to break up long-standing pairs Staal/Dan
Girardi and Sauer/Ryan McDonagh, but they might not have a choice. Some of the defenders that may be forced into
duty to start the year haven't spent a whole lot of time together on the
blueline, but they'll have to adapt quickly and learn how to play with one
another to hold down the fort until New York is back at full strength.
Though the time for talent evaluation and roster tinkering has
generally passed and the Rangers now feature a team that closely resembles the
one that will take the ice for the season opener on Friday against the Los
Angeles Kings, there are still a couple of roster decisions to be made. The remaining battles are between Erik
Christensen and Sean Avery for
the 13th forward job and Brendan Bell and Stu Bickel on
Michael Del Zotto appears to have won the sixth-defenseman spot,
but both Bell and Bickel could stick around depending on the status of Staal
and Sauer and at least one will remain with the team as the seventh-defenseman.
Bell and Bickel both figure to be in the
lineup tomorrow as the coaching staff tries to determine who is best suited to
start the year with the Blueshirts.
The only uncertainty of line combinations is the left wing
situation on the third- and fourth-lines. The top two lines of Wojtek Wolski/Brad Richards/Marian Gaborik and
Brandon Dubinsky/Artem Anisimov/Ryan Callahan appear written in stone, so the
only question up top is whether Ruslan Fedotenko will remain with Brian Boyle
and Brandon Prust, or if Mike Rupp will take that spot while Fedotenko moves to
play with Derek Stepan and Mats Zuccarello.
The season is nearly upon us and for the most part,
individuals are no longer being examined. Now the play of this team as a whole is what matters.

Starfish Tumbler
By Greg
from Greene County, North Carolina
About Me PrincipalDean
This product was given to my staff for Teacher Appreciation Week. I liked the starfish because there is a story about the starfish that is very appropriate. The message the tumblers emphasized is that everything we do for or to students matter. I wanted them to know this and to know how much I appreciate what they do each day for the students we serve. Baudville.com was able to help me achieve my goal. The product was reasonably priced and the order was shipped immediately. I knew the status of my order from confirmation to delivery. You could not ask for better service.

Bonnie Raitt tickets to catch a country rock legend are on sale now! Check out the Bonnie Raitt schedule for Bonnie Raitt tour dates near you to hear Something to Talk About, Nick of Time and to see the bottleneck guitar work of an American institution. You can also hear hits from her latest album Slipstream with Bonnie Raitt concert tickets!
Bonnie Raitt Concert Tickets
From the bottom of the barrel to the Hall of Fame, Bonnie Raitt has seen it all. As the daughter of a Broadway musical star and a pianist, music ran in the family for Raitt who picked up her signature slide guitar in her youth. While many of her contemporaries were trekking to Nashville to get their shot, Raitt enrolled in Harvard's African Studies program. It was there that she met legendary Blues promoter Dick Waterman who would introduce her to Blues legends Howlin' Wolf and Mississippi Fred McDowell who she would gig with on early Bonnie Raitt tour dates.
Every bit the young upstart, Raitt rallied for a variety of causes, participating in anti-apartheid, anti-Vietnam and anti-nuclear movements and playing gigs all over the Northeast during the late 60s and early 70s where she was discovered by a Newsweek reporter leading to her first label deal.
After several unsuccessful albums, Raitt was dropped by Warner Bros. and spiraled into drug and alcohol abuse before her late 80s breakthrough on her tenth album Nick of Time. Finally the hits began to pour out leading to Grammys for three straight albums and an almost rabid increase in interest for Bonnie Raitt tickets. Raitt has never looked back. In 2000 she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and she performed at the 2012 Grammys with Alicia Keys in honor of Etta James. Her first album in seven years entitled Slipstream is sure to reap another bonanza. Bonnie Raitt concert tickets are available now!

After years of lying around looking dead, herbivores and carnivores are interacting
Giving a facelift to dinosaurs can be a difficult thing, but that isn't stopping the staff at the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum from embarking on a full scale overhaul of some of the most impressive artifacts in North America.
Since being hired in November 2013, Prehistoric Museum Chief Preparator Carrie Herbel has been revamping the repository's dinosaur exhibits. She works with Director and Curator Kenneth Carpenter to update the museum's paleontological species, by making them accessible and exciting for anyone touring hall.
As a large part of the museum centers the world class examples of Mesozoic reptiles found in Eastern Utah, changing the dinosaur exhibits was one of Carpenter's first projects when he took over as director. The nearby Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, contains many different species, with the carnivorous Allosaurus being the predominant creature found in this rich bone bed.
The deposit also includes the Camarasaurus, Camptosaurus and Stegosaurus. However with continuing research, these skeletal creatures are now being remounted and newly displayed in such a way as to give museum goers a glimpse into how the creatures originally moved.
This has been a dream of Dr. Carpenter's, and he has found an equally excited partner in Herbel, who is working daily to change the museum's look.
For instance, the repository's Allosaurus is now being exhibited running in order to grab and devour the small herbivore, Camptosaurus.
According to a USU Prehistoric Museum press release, the Allosaurus was originally mounted in a rather "boring" static pose and the Camptosaurus was displayed in what many paleontologists call a "kangaroo pose." Obviously, the paleo group isn't too hot on the "kangaroo pose."
"But no more," said Herbel.
The museum's Stegosaurus has also undergone some major changes. Before Carpenter and Herbel got their hands on it, the dinosaur was lying down in a death pose. The group is currently working on an exhibit which will feature the armor-plated dinosaur in a dynamic pose, looking back at the attacking Allosaurus with its tall spikes swinging towards the carnivorous predator.
The museum's team has plans to change virtually all of the dinosaur exhibits with the Camarasaurus skeleton getting the next treatment. That project is slated to begin in the spring of 2015.
For those who visit the museum, the newly completed exhibits are only part of the enjoyment to be had from what is being done at USU Eastern. The working professionals who are re-creating these exhibits can be seen daily applying their trade.
As the work is being done right inside the paleo-hall, work that is typically done behind closed doors is largely available for the public to see.
According to the museum's staff, other recent changes at the prehistoric museum include a renovation of the repository's most storied find, the Huntington Mammoth.
The museum's hominids are also getting an overhaul as many changes have been made to the Archaeological side of the museum. The Fremont Pit House diorama has also been completed with the addition of more products stored and displayed reflecting what is known about these Fremont people and how they lived. The exhibit also shows what products were used by these native peoples and what they ate and enjoyed.
With a continued focus on interaction, the recently completed "What is Archaeology??" exhibit provides the public with drawers full of text and objects which can be touched and explored. These exhibits were the brain child of Director of Education Lloyd Logan and Curator of Archeology Tim Riley. A sister exhibit titled "What is Paleontology," is underway with Logan assisting Dr. Carpenter and Herbel.
The prehistoric museum's staff encourages those who have seen the old exhibits to come back and view the changes. Children are always welcome and annual passes are available for single adults as well as families in conjunction with the museum in Moab.
The USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum has worked out an agreement where anyone who purchases an annual pass to the Price facility will have that pass honored at the Museum of Moab and vice versa. Double the education for a single price.
"I think sometimes our even our local public forgets what a treasure they have right here on Main Street in Price," said USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum Public Relations Director. "So much is going on right now and so much has been going on, come in and see us."

Perfect Homemade Stuffing CrockPot Recipe
Day 317.
I am so excited I can hardly stop squirming. I grew up on Stove Top stuffing, and was pretty sure I'd never make or come across a gluten-free stuffing that didn't make me want to hurl. (not a very nice image early in the morning, but seriously. The idea had pretty much just been stricken from my imagination.)
Until a few weeks ago and I began planning Thanksgiving-y crockpot recipes and I figured the Internet needed a crockpot stuffing recipe, and if I was going to make one, it'd have to be gluten free, so I might as well just give it a go.
I did it. Yesterday.
and it's good! and I'm not even exaggerating or lying or anything!
If you're not gluten-free, go ahead and use your favorite sliced sandwich bread, or a loaf of french bread.
The Ingredients.
1 loaf of bread, lightly toasted in the oven (approximately 10 pieces, I used gluten free sandwich bread)
1 large yellow onion, diced
cup celery, diced
1 cup tart apple, peeled and diced
1/4 cup butter, melted (I use salted, but it doesn't really matter)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth (and maybe 1/4 cup later if needed)
1 tablespoon ground sage (important flavor)
1 teaspoon ground marjoram
1/2 teaspoon savory
1/2 teaspoon thyme
(if you have poultry seasoning in the house, use 1 tablespoon and omit the sage, marjoram, savory, and thyme.)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
The Directions.
I used a 6 quart crockpot. I'd recommend a big guy, so you have room to toss. If you only have a 4 quart, toss everything well in a very large mixing bowl, then put into your crockpot.
Toast the bread slices in the oven at 300 degrees. I needed to keep the brown rice bread in for about 30 minutes before it was all toasty. Regular bread will toast much quicker, be aware.
While the bread is toasting, chop up the onion, parsley, celery, and apple. Add to crockpot. Add the seasoning, and add melted butter. Stir well.
When the bread is done, cut into 1/2 inch size-or-so cubes.
Add to the crockpot.
Toss very well with the butter, chopped vegetables, and spices. When the bread is coated nicely, pour in 1 1/2 cups of broth.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Sweep up the bread crumbs.
When finished, the bread will have browned a bit on the top and around the edges, and it will be hot throughout. It can stay on warm for probably another 2 hours before serving, if needed. Stir. If you'd like it a bit more moist, you can add a 1/4 cup more (or as much as you desire) of broth.
If you'd like to start the day ahead---you can do the bread cubes, and seal in zipper bags, and chop the vegetables and keep separate. Combine as directed the day of your dinner.
The Verdict.
Amazing. In a blind taste-test, I'd never guess this was made with gluten-free bread. Holy toledo.
My kids don't really like stuffing, but they tried it to be nice.

This sounds delicious!
I do have a question - and you may have discussed this before; if so, I am sorry - but why gluten-free?
Just curious.

Hi Rikki!
my youngest has celiac, an intolerance to gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye)---we've decided as a family it's just better to all be GF while at home.

Yea! Success!
Could you bear a couple suggestions? Water Chestnuts and or a mix of raisins and dried cranberries.
Stuffing -- we eat it year round, but I'll 'fess up to doctoring the Stop Top stuff. It's so easy in the microwave when the oven and stove are already crowded. But in a crock pot? Genius!!!

Oh, thankyou!! I have done without stuffing for the 6 years since my CD dx for the very reason you gave: hurling :-) And by "Food Life" bread, you mean Food for Life? I want your exact ingredients--I'm so excited about eating stuffing this Thanksgiving, I'm not taking any chances! Thank you so much for the recipe!

Also to make life easier you can cut the bread up before you toast it so it isn't such a mess when you cut it up.
- November 12, 2008 at 7:39 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
liz, those are great suggestions!
molly, is that what it's called? I threw the bag away. It's the stuff that's at trader joe's and pretty much any other store that sells GF stuff.
southwti! AH! doy. that would have been much easier!

I eat the same Food of Life bread! It's kind of hard, but hey, it's still gluten free. I don't have celiac, but lately, my stomach just gets all out of whack if I have gluten.
Your stuffing looks so hearty and good. Stuffing is one of my favorite food at Thanksgiving!! First, of course, are the sweet potatoes!!

Do you really think the poultry seasoning has enough sage in it to leave out the whole tablespoon?

Yeah! I have never bought GF bread because it seems so dry...but that's perfect for stuffing! My guys were going to go without stuffing this year, but maybe not! I won't tell my guests if you won't!!

Ahh I can't tell you how excited I am about this. I found out I couldn't eat wheat about three years ago(I'm 19 now) and thanksgiving is NOT the same any more!
My mom makes this amazing recipe for stuffing every year that's been passed down since her grandma.. Do you think I could use hers and just use that rice bread from Trader Joe's instead? I think I might just have to try it..
Thanks for all the great recipes!
You don't even know how excited I am to see the rest of your Thanksgiving stuff! :)
- November 12, 2008 at 7:58 AM
I tried stuffing in the crock pot several years ago (got the recipe out of "Fix It and Forget it".) It was wonderful and a lot easier than cooking it in the bird.
I'm glad you had success with it.
One thing I do is cook up some turkey necks and backs a few weeks before TG and use them to make stock ahead of time. That way I can make gravy earlier in the day and not at the last minute before serving dinner. You could use the turkey stock in the crock pot stuffing recipe too.

I can't believe I never even considered using the crockpot for stuffing! You are awesome! The oven is always so full on Thanksgiving, and I like to make A LOT of stuffing since it is my favorite. I'mm looking forward to "test-driving" this recipe before Thanksgiving. Thanks again for being awesomely creative!

Just *seeing* this recipe is making me grin and grin. And you didn't even use fancy g-f bread! I mean, I would totally spring for the fancy expensive stuff for Thanksgiving, but this is great!
- November 12, 2008 at 9:31 AM
I know nothing about being GF, but I remember on your grits post you noted that it was naturally GF. Being from the South, I grew up with cornbread stuffing/dressing. The cornbread I make has cornmeal and flour, but I suppose you could use GF flour. Is cornmeal GF? Anyway, just a thought.
Love, love, love your blog!! My friends are getting tired of hearing me say "today I made such and such from the CrockPot Lady's blog". :)

Wow. I am beyond excited about this recipe.
I was just put on a gluten-free diet and Thanksgiving has been a big ole bummer looming in the distance.
I, too, grew up on Stove Top and I was pretty sure that there wouldn't be anything that was GF and tasted even half as yummy.
I hope you don't mind, but I am going to email you to see if I can beg and borrow some GF-life tips from you. Thanks in advance!

I am so excited! I never thought to do the stuffing in the crock pot. I have the hardest time because I make a huge turkey and there is never room for stuffing in the oven! I wonder if homemade bread toasted and cubed will work? If not I will use some store bought. Also my stuffing has egg in it.. will that work in the crockpot?

how many servings do you think this is? We have 3 absolute celiacs, and several boderlines at our Thanksgiving dinners.

Faith, I think it would comfortably feed 8-10 adults, as a side dish.

I don't really miss GF bread on a daily basis, but I do enjoy good stuffing. I think this type of recipe is actually the best use for GF bread. The other ingredients give it a special ooomph it doesn't have on its own. I use the tapioca loaf in my crab casserole recipe for the holidays and it's just perfect in it. Better yet, my sister can easily buy that bread and make the recipe GF for me when she hosts events.
I got another interesting stuffing recipe last year, but didn't get to try it. Perhaps we should test that out in the crock pot. It's just one bag of GF tortilla chips, 2-3 cups of chicken broth (enough to make moist), and minced celery and onions (as much as you like). Mix all together and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. How would that translate to a crockpot recipe?

Pssst - just so you know, I've got one, too.
Oh, and my little SIL bought me a new crockpot for Christmas and is giving it to me early. I'm so excited! I think it might be a smartpot.
I may buy myself a small one for Christmas. :)

- Kelly the Kitchen Kop said...
Can't wait to give this a shot. We always make extra stuffing and it won't all fit in the bird, so like someone said above, now we won't take up more oven space. By the way, LOVE your choice of chicken broth.

Wow! I can't wait to try this! Will probably use regular bread, though. The 8-10 servings, was that a conservative number? I have a question, though. Why do some of your recipes say to "vent" the lid?
- November 12, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Brilliant idea. With enough crock pots, it's looking like you can do a huge chunk of the Thanksgiving meal and not even turn on the oven!
P.S. I know your little one has CD but I just wanted to tell you that your GF recipes may also be helping many many families with kids on the autism spectrum. Our 5 year old is newly dx'd, and we haven't yet considered GF, but it's nice to know I can come here for lots of recipes if we decide to go that route. {{{BIG HUG}}}

It's totally easier to go all GF at home - and it's more motivating to find yummy things if you have to eat it yourself. Can you see me giving you a high five? I'm SO making this. Even though my son thinks bread is yucky, I can still have hope he'll try something new.

you do a corn casserole. I love the one with a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix, one egg, two can of cream corn and a can of regular corn. I don't know how I would do it in the crock pot. It would be great to have some chicken (or turkey) in it so it could be more of a meal casserole....hmmm. Keep up the great work!

Wow! What perfect timing. We are a GFCF family and I jsut bought a Crock Pot yesterday. Costco has them on sale. My sisters (who are newly GF) and I are planning on sharing Crock Pot cooking during the week. I never would have thought of cooking the GF stuffing in the Crock Pot. Perfect!

If you have an electric knife, you can use it to cut the bread easier. It's good for more than cutting up the bird and foam padding. =)
- November 22, 2008 at 9:42 AM
This recipe was a lifesaver today (Thanksgiving). I did make a few additions - one pound of turkey sausage and about 1/4 c dried cranberries (I had them on hand and wanted to use this last little bit). I used storebought dried bread cubes and should have used quite a bit more liquid. This was great to do in the crockpot as I only have the one oven and had several side dishes that needed to be baked. I used a crockpot liner that I had sprayed with Pam, so, cleanup was a breeze! Thanks again for a great use for the crockpot!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

We tried this and it was so good that my cousin who is a stove top die hard ate our stuffing and didn't even complain.
Definitely making this again! Thanks!!
Btw this was our first gluten free thanksgiving and it was a success.
- November 30, 2008 at 9:40 AM
Well, I did not follow this recipe exactly, but I did make the Trader Joe cornbread stuffing mix and put it into my daughter's crock pot while mine cooked the turkey.
Both were a rousing success or as my husband would say:
"Another triumph, my dear."

It is Christmas day and we will be eating dinner in a few minutes- just waiting on some green beans. I've snuck a taste of the stuffing from the crock pot and it turned out great. So glad I used your recipe since my oven is too small for both turkey and any other dishes.
Merry Christmas. And please don't stop blogging in January! (What are your plans for the site?)

This has become a go-to recipe at our house. I use the Whole Foods sandwich bread. My Husband and Father-In-Law both have CD, and have, until last yeat gone with out stuffing. My father-In-law had me make it for a potluck dinner at his church. He stood by the crock pot for the entire dinner and told everyone that it was gluten-free and his daughter-in-law made it just for him. He was so Jazzed!
Thanks for the great recipies.
P.S. We also love, love, love your mac-n-cheese.

I have this in my crockpot now and it smells divine. I added a chicken breast (stir fried first and shredded) and a carrot (omitted the apple because I didn't have one). I thought I'd try to squish a bit into a muffin tin once it is done and tell my toddler it is a chicken stuffing muffin. He loves muffins, so we'll see. But either way, I could cry tears of joy smelling it right now. Stuffing was a key part of every holiday at my house growing up and I haven't had it in about 2 years, since my son's allergies were diagnosed. Thank you! (If it comes out well, I'll probably post about it on my allergy blog later with a link back here).

I've made crockpot stuffing for years because I always brine my turkey. Stuffing would get too salty if cooked in the bird.
However, when I start the cooking process I put the turkey neck on top of the stuffing as it all cooks and you get REAL turkey juice into it.

Yay for gluten free! We camp every year for the Thanksgiving week-end, and I always have two crock-pots going for the sides. I've done stuffing in the crock-pot before with great success. I discovered I'm wheat intolerant last year. Some people say there is no difference between celiac and wheat intolerance, but I can handle some gluten products such as beer. But, try to eat a slice of lasagna and I'm done for. Also, I'm on a low carb diet, so basically I've eliminated all bread and pasta. I was planning on making regular stuffing this year and just gazing longingly on everyone else as they ate it. I am definitely going to try this recipe. I am wondering though if I can toast the bread in a toaster, because my oven in the camper is really small. Or, could I toast it a week ahead of time?
- November 13, 2010 at 3:14 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Cee Jay,
I'd suggest toasting it in the toaster. It'll take a while, and I think you can safely do it a day or two beforehand, but if you do it a week early, you'll need to refrigerate or freeze the bread, and the moisture will get it soggy again.
good luck! we LOVE this stuffing!
- November 13, 2010 at 7:31 AM
- cyberprof said...
Stephanie, thanks so much for this and all your other recipes. I am GF/celiac and this will be my third GF Thanksgiving. My family and in-laws are so supportive so it hasn't been a problem. And I like experimenting so I've had good success with GF pies, sides etc. But I've always missed the stuffing. Inspired by you, I'm going to make it this year, substituting the family-tradition of peeled chesnuts for the apple cubes.
And I wanted to tell you how much I admire you and Adam for taking your whole house GF to support your daughter after her diagnosis. Many families don't do this and it is very hard for the GF/celiac kid, especially for the young ones. You have a very good approach and I salute you.
Keep the recipes coming!

I am a huge fan... HUGE!!! I discovered your blog about 14 months ago and I dove in head first! I went GF about 2 years ago and it changed my life, but it was a shock and took some getting used to. I have naturally not been comfortable in the kitchen, but add GF on top of that and I was beyond lost. Now I rule my kitchen and have a newfound strength and desire to not only cook, but be proud of what I make. I am confident cooking GF because of the Crock Pot. It saved me! And your blog made all the difference. Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... From the bottom of my heart. I have made over 65 of your recipes (as of my last count) and my menu for the next week includes 3 new ones! And this stuffing is the next one! As well as the Spinach & Artichoke Dip which was requested for me to make for dinner (again... they love it!) AND (Yesterday was Chipotle Chicken w/ Sweet Potato which we took over to a friends for dinner... YUM to the 10th degree!)
I post about all my Crock Pot recipes on Facebook and my blog, and I constantly am directing the inquiries to your website. I now own 3 slow cookers: 4 qt, 5 qt, and 6 qt! And I want a 2 qt for Christmas! Yes I have a wonderous relationship and love for my Crock Pot!
So thank you for the inspiration and support that you give to all of us who have entered into the GF world bewildered, lost, and confused. And thank you for continuing to blog and try new recipes for us! Have a Happy Thanksgiving 2010!
Sincerely with gratitude,
Kristin in VA Beach

I wasn't home for Thanksgiving this year, but I want to make this for Christmas. My grandson is GFCF, and I would love to make a meal he can eat just like everyone else.
Thank you for all your recipe posts!!
- November 28, 2010 at 1:32 PM
No need to toast! Just leave the bread out on the counter the night before - that's how we always did it. It needs to be dry to absorb the flavors. Some people say DON'T toast but I'm thinking toasting may change/add some flavor. So happy to see Stephanie still responds to comments.

Thanks for this awesome recipe! I made this stuffing for Thanksgiving last year and I'm making it again this year. I used Rudi's GF bread and followed the directions exactly. It was better than ANY stuffing I've ever had!

- IrishHeart said...
This is a fantastic recipe! Thank you so much for sharing. I followed your directions to the letter and it came out moist and delicious. I have tried other ways, but to no avail. YOU saved Thanksgiving! :)
I had frozen slices of leftover loaves I had made and I thawed them, then toasted them as you suggested. Worked perfectly. It is as close to my old favorite recipe for apple and sage dressing as can be! I am sharing it with any celiac I know who cries over the loss of stuffing.
Thank you so much!

Ultimate Adventure 2013 ApplicationPosted in Ultimate Adventure on December 12, 2012 Comment (0)
The Ultimate Adventure is our signature 4-wheelering event, famous around the world—and for good reason. Each year we select four readers and their rigs to join the staff, friends, and sponsors of the magazine for the best 4x4 summer camp/vacation ever. It could be you that joins us this year. All it takes is a competent rig and a team of two that can wheel, wrench, get along with others, and abide by our only real rule: No Whiners! Sure, there's a bunch of other requirements, but a positive attitude and the ability to go with the flow and fix what you have makes the trip a success for everyone.
Every year the trip is in a different region, and the adventure consists of a thousand-mile road trip with a killer four-wheel trail thrown in almost every day. You get to live out of your rig and cook, camp, and enjoy this great country with like-minded guys for a week in the summer, usually the beginning of July. You'll have to pay all your own expenses and get time off of work to get there, wheel, and get home. Worst of all, we won't tell you where you're going until the last minute, no matter where we're going in the USA. We said it's not for whiners.
The problem is that many people don't apply because they don't think they will get picked—yet, like the lottery, you can't win if you don't play. Your rig only needs to meet minimum wheeling requirements, starting with 35-inch or better tires, a self-recovery winch on the front, locking differentials front and rear, and a protective roll bar (or a cage if it's an open vehicle). It doesn't need to be a buggy or wallet-job either. But it has to be street legal in your state and properly registered, licensed, and insured. We don't allow alcohol on the trail or road, and Illegal drugs are never allowed.
Trailers aren't allowed during the trip, as we live out of the rigs for a week. That means you bring everything you need and nothing you don't, because if you break you will need your own tools, parts, and knowledge. We've had first-time wheelers with well-built homegrown rigs do the entire trip without damage or breakage—so if they can do it, you can too. But carnage and body damage will most likely occur, no matter how careful we try to be, as our purpose is to wheel for the week, not for the day. There are no bypasses, no way to avoid body damage.
It's not hard to apply. In fact, if you can't send us an application and photos by mail, you can do it online. Remember to get your application in to us by March 31, 2013.
- No whiners!
- Have lots of fun!
- We are not responsible for you during this event.
- We will use the buddy system so you are partnered with the Old Cronies throughout this adventure. We're all friends and this is a group endeavor, not a competition.
- We will always try to stick together and help everyone, but with a group of this size, it will not always be practical to delay the whole group for one or two people. You will never be left alone- that's what your buddies are for.
- Only one vehicle allowed per invitee, and only two people per vehicle. The team must attend the whole trip- no substitutions.
- Once the trip begins vehicles must be driven (not towed) on the entire Ultimate Adventure. They can be towed to the starting point and home after completion of the Ultimate Adventure.
- Vehicle may be towed to repair location--the intent of the no-trailer rule is to enforce the pavement portion of the adventure.
- The group will leave as close as possible to posted times--don't be late or you may be left behind. Also, don't wander away without informing the leader- you may be left behind. Sticking together at all times helps maintain group integrity.
- Bring all your gear with you in your trail rig (sleeping bag, food, water, and so on) for any situation--don't depend on a support vehicle or trailer along the way. We are camping (primitive) almost every night. You will be living out of your rig. You may also be wheeling with all of your gear on board, so pack accordingly.
- Participants are responsible for all of their own expenses (food, lodging, fuel, repairs, fees, and other expenses).
- No firearms, pets, and no children under 18 years old on the event.
- You are considered a representative of 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine, as well as an adult, and a representative of the 4-wheeling community as a whole. It is important to hold yourself to the highest standards of behavior as we are on display to the entire nation. We expect you to behave accordingly at all times.
- Alcohol consumption will not be tolerated on trails or any time you are driving. Passengers may not drink on trails. Violators will get one verbal warning; the second offense removes you from the Ultimate Adventure.
- Illegal drug use will not be tolerated any time during the tour. There is no warning--first offense gets you removed from the Ultimate Adventure.
This is a 4-Wheel & Off-Road event designed to entertain our readers and offer promotional value to Ultimate Adventure sponsors. In order to protect the marketing value, Ultimate Adventure offers to its sponsors, only official sponsor's lettering and/or logos are allowed to be displayed on the Ultimate Adventure vehicles. Your vehicle must be stripped of all lettering/logos not part of the Ultimate Adventure. You will be supplied with logos from the sponsors should you wish to run them, as well as Ultimate Adventure logos for your vehicle windshield, which must be applied.
Vehicle/Driver Requirements
There will be a tech inspection at check-in. Your vehicle will be inspected for all of the following equipment and paperwork. You will not be allowed to join Ultimate Adventure if your vehicle fails this inspection.
- Vehicle must be road worthy and capable of sustained highway speeds of 60 mph and a fuel range of at least 150 miles.
- Vehicle must be street licensed and insured, and driver must have a valid driver's license, current registration, and current proof of insurance.
- Front and rear axle lockers (limited slips do not suffice)

I've been suggesting those two since the end of last season although I'm not sure the suggested 100M budget would cover both. I've said for a while that it should be about 110M. That extra 10M would allow them to sign Rodney, too.

|Smith Selected By Super Bowl Champs
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 30 April 2011 17:39
Appalachian State linebacker D.J. Smith has made it a habit of playing for winning teams during his career.In high school, he won four state championships and never lost a game playing for Independence High School; in college, he won a Football Championship Sub-Division national championship playing for the Moutaineers in 2007 as a true freshman. And now, he's a member of the winningest franchise in National Football League history---the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers, who have won 13 NFL and Super Bowl titles combined, including Super Bowl XLV last season, was selected by the Packers in the sixth round of the draft with the 186th pick. Smith led the Southern Conference and ranked fifth nationally with 144 total tackles. He also recorded four-and-a-half tackles for loss, two sacks, five quarterback hurries, four pass break-ups, an interception and a fumble recovery and finished his career with 525 tackles, the most among all Division I players (FCS or FBS) active in 2010. His 525 career stops rank fourth in SoCon history and he joined Dexter Coakley, who will be inducted into the SoCon Hall of Fame on May 24, as the only players in ASU history to surpass the 500-tackle plateau.
Smith was named a third-team All-America by the Associated Press last season, and he was also one of 20 finalists (joined by ASU team-mates Jabari Fletcher and Mark LeGree) for the Buck Buchanan Award, which goes to the top defensive player in the country at the FCS level. Smith is a two-time All-America. As a true freshman, he didn't crack the starting lineup until the seventh game of the season in 2007. But he still finished with 121 tackles (49 solo, 5.5 for loss, two interceptions, and 11 pass breakups. He was a three-time All-SoCon performer, and was a first team selection the last two years.

you know how there's no "proof" when it comes to religion and intelligent design?
There's so much proof over evolution, it's overwhelming.
For example:
People who's ancestors came from very hot, very sunny regions of the world have very dark skin. We call them "black" but it's really a shade of brown (I don't need to tell you that, we know). In fact, the whole of humanity is a shade of brown be it tan, wheat, fallow, sienna or bistre. We are all brown. Now, people who's ancestors came from cold regions where the sun shines some of the time are much more pale.
If we all migrated from areas near Iran/Iraq and spread throughout the world over several hundred millennia, it would make sense that our bodies would adapt to the conditions in which we found ourselves in be it Africa or Northern Europe.
What about the vitamin D argument? Why would "god" make it so that our skin produces a poison if exposed to sunlight (yes, too much vitamin D can hurt you)? Sure, we need vitamin D for certain things but we can get that from veggies and milk. The sun causes our skin to produce 200x the vitamin D as in what's in a full plate of broccoli.
Adam and Eve.
Okay, Adam and Eve had kids; Cain, Abel and Seth. All boys. Where did civilization come from or are we all descendants of inbreeding?
The Catholic church (not very long ago at all) declared that the Earth was some 6,000 years old. Only 6,000. They even had the date and time of day. I do believe the Pyramid of Giza was erected sometime, oh, 5,000 years ago. There are temples in Malta going back 7,000 years.
kind of weak arguments but so is, "I have faith"
And did you know what scientists believe that lactose tolerance is probably the most recent major evolutionary milestone?
Oh, and that women are as smart and capable as men?
Or that homosexuals are able to feel and express love and raise children like any other household? (screw you, Maine!)

One of the most unique guitars of all time.
Own a certified American classic.
With their distinct jangly tone, Rickenbacker guitars have become an absolutely iconic staple in the musical landscape. Sought after by artists all around the world for more than half a century, there's simply no denying the beauty of a Rickenbacker. First rising to prominence in the 1960s when John Lennon played his Rickenbacker 325 Capri during the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the "Rickenbacker Sound" truly came into its own later that year when George Harrison played his Rickenbacker on several of the tracks for the A Hard Day's Night LP. Shortly after this landmark release, The Who, The Byrds, and more all picked up Rickenbacker guitars.
Over the years, Rickenbacker guitars have continued to shape the sound of popular music. Tom Petty and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stevie Van Zandt of the E Street Band, Jesse Lacey of Brand New, Carrie Brownstein of Sleater Kinney, Jay Ferguson of Sloan, Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!, Cheap Trick's Robin Zander, and more make sure the hi-gain chime of their Rickenbacker guitars shine through in full force every time they play.
One thing to note when you're looking for a Rickenbacker electric guitar is that they come in six and 12-string variations. Having an idea of which string configuration you want can definitely help you speed up your selection process. If you've got your heart set on a six string, check out options like the 360 Electric Guitar or the 325C64 Miami C Series. If you're more of a 12-string type of performer, you'll love what the 360 12-String Electric Guitar or the 360/12C63 C Series 12-String Electric Guitar have to offer. And if you're left handed, that's not a problem, Rickenbacker produce amazing options for lefties as well, such as the 360 Left-Handed Electric Guitar and the 330 Left-Handed Electric Guitar. Basically, regardless of what you want, a Rickenbacker has got everything you need.
Rickenbacker guitars are truly special. In a class all their own since day one, Rickenbacker has played an irreplaceable role in the history of rock and roll, while continuing to be a major part of its future. Whether you're a hobbyist who plays a few hours a week or a touring professional who is looking for a new instrument to take on the road, a Rickenbacker will take you from the jam space, to the stage, to the studio and beyond.

I read with much happiness the letter written by Roy Nikas (Sun Advocate March 11) regarding our beloved Lou Colosimo. Lou put his love into this community for 18 years and he was very proud of this city.
I was saddened when I read each issue of the Sun Advocate and did not see one paragraph about him.
What was harder to understand is that the publisher recently used an entire editorial to write about his brother's death who was not from this area.

SSA: @ Brooklyn Cyclones 5, Jamestown Jammers (FLA) 2
1B Cole Frenzel (.250/.346/.328), this year's seventh round pick out of Arizona was 3-4 with a double and an RBI. After a slow start to his professional career and a .215/.315/.291 line in 20 games in July, Frenzel is rolling along at .324/.409/.405 in August. He's not hitting for much power yet, but at least he's hitting for average.
Rain held Eduardo Aldama's night to 2.2 so the bullpen had to pick up the slack. Tyler Pill, this year's fourth-round pick out of Cal State Fullerton, tossed a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.
The Cyclones are now tied for the wild card lead (of course) and are three games out of first.
R- APP: @ Johnson City 1, Kingsport Mets 0
Yes. Domingo Tapia: 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 2 WP.
Tapia's three starts in August: 0.50 ERA (1 ER/18 IP), 12 H, 7 BB, 9 K.
R – GCL: @ GCL Cardinals 2, GCL Mets 1
Craig Missigman, this year's 37th rounder out of HS in North Carolina: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K

|NC pushes for presidential popular vote
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 08 May 2007 02:52
Yesterday, a North Carolina Senate committee approved a bill in favor of abandoning the Electoral College system.Lawmakers say North Carolina is largely ignored by presidential candidates because of its small number of electoral votes. Similar legislation has been introduced in 40 states, but so far only Maryland has passed it into law. Dissenters fear the change would hurt small rural states where the voting population might have a smaller impact than their electoral votes. The bill's next stop is a full state Senate vote. A companion measure awaits committee action in the House.

Gratitude from a Landmark Student
Heavy like a knot made of concrete is how my stomach felt as I drove around the corner and saw the people out of their cars with cell phones in hand. The person was lying face down on the hill with their twisted motorcycle in the ditch. My heart rate increased as I slowed down and pulled off to the side of the road. I checked my mirrors for traffic got out of the car and pulled my first aid kit from my climbing pack in the trunk. It was a hot summer day and I had just left work taking folks multi pitch climbing up at Table Rock North Carolina. I don't know how I felt other than hopeful that they were alive and I could do something. I walked over and verified with the crowd that EMS had...

WFR at Lutheridge
Bryan Dixon and I got to teach at Lutheridge in Asheville to a great batch of students. During the course we had to deal with some real rough weather for rescue-40's and raining for several days followed by straight up frigid weather with a brisk breeze. There's no weather like miserable weather to teach WFR's in! We also tried to beat the flu season as best we could-hygeine was numero uno to keep the sniffles at bay. Despite going through gobs of hand sanitizer, things still circulated around. We stuck it out and folks headed back to all corners of the country to keep climbing and paddling and hiking with their new found wilderness first responder skills. Good luck folks!

For years many area citizens, as well as those from far away, have been supporting the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum through an organization called Utah Friends of Paleontology (UFOP). UFOP is a statewide, non-profit, volunteer organization which is dedicated to preserving Utah's fossil resources and providing volunteer support to sponsoring institutions.
In October 1992, with the assistance of the state UFOP organization, the Castle Valley "Raptor Chapter" was granted its charter. Original chapter members included John Bird, Don Burge, Ken and Michelle Fleck, Bob and Margene Hackney, Carl Limone, Pat and Carol Sue Martinez, Duane and Joan Taylor, and Clark and Barb Warren.
Being a member of UFOP has many privileges. Among them is the opportunity to participate in the excavation and preservation of fossils; the gathering of information about ancient life; training, certification, and educational programs; sponsored field trips and volunteer work for museums; and university and state paleontological research.
Don Burge, founder and past director of the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, remarked that, "A large percentage of significant dinosaur finds are by rockhounds and volunteers. With its highly-regarded reputation and renowned collection, the Museum would not exist in its present state were it not for the experience, talent, and thousands of hours of dedicated service by these volunteers."
Barb Benson, volunteer and current president of the local "Raptor Chapter," commented, "It's unusual for amateurs and untrained individuals to be involved to this extent in the surveying, excavation, and final preparation of dinosaurs and other ancient life. More commonly, this type of work is reserved for professionals and highly-trained assistants. Similar opportunities are available through some private and commercial organizations with permits, but participants are charged a substantial fee."
John Bird, lab and field supervisor, began his association with the museum in 1989 as a volunteer. He eventually worked his way to his current full-time position overseeing paleo excavations and bone lab operations. Several new dinosaurs have been excavated, named, and prepared for study during John's tenure. UFOP member Marvin Evans was also a familiar face in the bone preparation lab for many years. Evans worked as the bone lab assistant until his recent retirement. Although Evans has been greatly missed, Bill Heffner has ably assumed the position of assistant bone preparator.
One need not have prior training to become involved. Volunteers work under the watchful eye of experienced museum professionals. They are patiently taught all of the basics and move on to more complex tasks as their skills progress. "All that's really necessary is a desire to contribute to the scientific and historical preservation of the area's ancient past, the ability and willingness to take direction, and an interest in being part of an organization that has contributed to the success of our Museum," said Bird.
Duties take place during hot summer days and the cool desert nights; volunteers face the dusty conditions, and treks through the most beautiful scenery imaginable. For those who may not be quite as adventurous, there are numerous volunteer opportunities inside the luxurious confines of air-conditioned comfort. The preparation of excavated bone specimens is a never-ending project, so many volunteers are needed in the lab. In the museum itself, volunteers are needed to give tours, assist with educational programs, and many other activities.
Anyone may join UFOP, and all are welcome to attend meetings. Meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, followed by an educational lecture/presentation at 7 p.m.
For more information contact Barb Benson, Castle Valley Raptor Chapter president, at 435-820-1192.

What does climate change hold for the Himalayas? Help find out by examining pollinators and the crops that need them.
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Flowering plants and their pollinators are declining in Himalayan orchards. Research can help determine the best way to manage these changes to support traditional sustainable agriculture.
India's Kullu Valley in the Himalayan Mountains is famous for its apple orchards and farms. But flowering plants are disappearing, and the numbers of pollinators such as bees and butterflies are declining. Crops are suffering, and farmers must "hire out" bees to ensure pollination. These changes are threatening the region's traditional agriculture and its financial stability.
Earthwatch, with the Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development, is studying the impact of climate change on fragile plant species and the effect of decreased plant biodiversity on the numbers of pollinators in orchards and fields. This research will provide critical information about pollinators and which types of crops will grow well under new climatic circumstances and will also help farmers to select crops and wild plants that can attract pollinators.
You'll work outdoors in the magnificent Himalayas, collecting vital data about plants growing at different elevations and the activities of butterflies and bees. Your findings will help to develop policies for agricultural management in the Indian Himalayan region.
*Includes accommodations, food, and all related research costs.
12+ days - See all dates
Data from these three locations will form the basis of a regional plan for managing sustainable agriculture in a changing climate.
Your observations of bees and butterflies will help provide key information about the effect of declining plant diversity on crop pollinators.
Because of its remarkable plant diversity, the Himalayan region is one of 34 official Global Biodiversity hotspots. The Kullu Valley, a major agricultural center, is located in this hotspot. Agriculture in the region is largely sustainable, but its success depends upon the pollination of crop plants by animals such as bees and butterflies.
Few studies have focused on the plant species of the region or on the effect of declining Himalayan plant biodiversity on pollinators. This lack of knowledge limits the ability of the Indian government to make meaningful policy decisions relative to sustainable agriculture and farming practices.
This Earthwatch project is part of a larger study of pollinators in the Indian Himalayas. Two additional studies in the Sikkim and Uttarakhand areas will explore the status of pollinators of cucumbers, mustard, and cardamom, which are major sustainable crops in the region. Data from these three locations will form the basis of a regional plan for managing sustainable agriculture in a changing climate.
Assess biodiversity in the Kullu Valley, with a focus on "bee flora".
As an Earthwatch participant, you'll assess bees and butterflies in apple orchards. You'll also record diversity of tree, shrub and herb; flowering, leafing and fruiting on marked apple trees; and identify and record bee flora to create a floral calendar for the region. In the lab, you'll analyze soil samples and record and input data.
The Kullu Valley, a delightful region in the northwest Indian Himalayas, is known as the Valley of the Gods. The valley spreads its charm on either side of the upper reaches of the River Beas. Kullu is also known for its historic Buddhist monasteries and temples, religious festivals, and hot springs.
When Spring arrives in April, the whole Kullu valley will be in blossom due to flowering of Apple flowers. Kullu is at its most colorful, with pink and white flowers in the valley while the higher slopes are shining with gorgeous red rhododendrons.
As the summer hits and most of India is going through extreme heat, the climate in Kullu is pleasant with daytime temperatures barely reaching 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). Wild and garden plants are flowering at this time.
As summer winds down in August, apples are in fruiting. It's rainy season, but Kullu falls in rain shadow areas, so there's not much rain. In October, the leaves fall, with Diwali (festival of color) and Dushera as exciting festivals.
This is a summary:
You'll spend most of your days with scientists collecting data in the forests and orchards. You'll help:
In the evenings you'll visit local places of interest, such as Naggar Castle, Kais Monastery, temples, Kullu market, and the Roerich Museum, or visit with local farmers. On one day, you'll visit the historic town of Manali, about 12 miles (19 kilometers) away. On the way, you'll visit a fruit growers' association to learn about how the region's farmer federation works and the difficulties that local farmers face. On the final day, the scientists will give a presentation on how the data you've collected will be used, and you'll visit a handicraft workshop.
Assess species diversity by recording tree, shrub, and herb leafing, flowering, and fruiting.
This project is a partnership between Earthwatch and the Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development.
Dr. Dhyani studies the relationship between plants and their environment, and his work has helped develop practices for restoring and conserving natural landscapes. He has three decades of experience researching plants in the Himalayas.
You'll stay in the Hotel Soham Chateaue de Naggar located in the peaceful village of Naggar in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh. You'll have a comfortable room featuring a balcony with a panoramic view of the Himalayas and the River Beas.
In the morning, you'll be served tea in bed. You'll eat breakfast and a buffet dinner in the hotel while enjoying a view of the Himalayas and the Kullu Valley. Depending on the distance to the research site and changes in the research schedule, you'll eat lunch at the hotel or take a packed lunch to the research site. You'll enjoy local vegetarian cuisine, which may include Indian breads, fruits, rice, vegetable dishes, dals (lentils), curries, salad, and pickles.

- Second aim to directly compare two acupuncture techniques, placebo, needling at "wrong" places and "correct" needling for knee pain
Advantages of the study compared to published data:
- Distal needling - enables assessment of range of motion (ROM) and pain level during needling.
- Both acupuncture systems rely on minimal questioning, which simplifies the patient-practitioner interactions.
- Exploratory studies in the clinic of DP show that it is possible to distinguish between "correct" and "incorrect" needling, at least in the short term. Long term effects have not been assessed yet.

CANTON Putting slow-moving-vehicle signs on stationary objects is a dangerous practice that should end, the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators was told Monday.
Representatives of Kendrew Grange 891 explained to lawmakers that using the signs as markers for driveways, mailboxes and poles is a growing trend.
Theyre clearly visible from the highway, said Georgia M. Brothers, who spoke on behalf of her husband, Hubert L. This causes a real hazard.
Drivers cannot be sure if the triangular markers are attached to a slow-moving vehicle or a stationary object, so they are not sure how to react, she said.
The practice is illegal but people ignore the restriction, said fellow grange member Mark Matthews. The grange members asked for legislative assistance in having the signs removed when appropriate by towns and the county.
Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler, said he would develop a resolution to support the intent of the law on the slow-moving-vehicle signs, which are not meant for use as emblems.
Legislators also threw their support behind a grant application to the Northern Border Regional Commission by the Northeastern Loggers Association for a study of production technology that could streamline operations in some forestry fields.
If the grant is awarded, the industry group could pick some businesses in the region and develop recommended processes to improve efficiency that could be applicable on a broad scale, said Dawn C. Howard, county Soil & Water Conservation District manager.
Theyll look at things with a fresh set of eyes, she said. The tough thing is we have to get people to buy into it.
The primary focus will be on establishing best business practices with an eye down the road to the biomass market, she said.
