NEWPORT–Revenge is a dish best served cold. With temperatures hovering around the single digits on Thursday night, the Falcon basketball girls avenged their season opener loss to Lyndon Institute with a resounding 61-35 beat down of their neighbors from the south.
Signs pointed to a rough and tumble rematch for North Country. Emma Joslin was on the bench early with two fouls, but the team rallied around her by spreading out the offense to build a 13-7 first quarter lead.
Anna Bingham got things started with a deuce, followed by a Michaela Stanley lay-up. The teams would stay close throughout the quarter, and with the clock ticking down and the Falcon lead sitting at three, Joslin, back in the game after the unwanted rest, buried a buzzer beating three pointer to bring the lead to six.
The second quarter was the most exciting, and nerve racking if you are a NCU fan, of the game.
Noelle Pinard kicked it off with a bucket for North Country, but fueled by the combination of Riley Blankenship, Darien Smith, and Hannah Cornell, the Vikings would go on a 10-2 run to take the lead 17-15. Desiree Coffin knotted the game at seventeen, and from there it was back and forth for the rest of the quarter.
The LI trio of Blankenship, Cornell, and Smith were excellent at forcing the Falcons to commit fouls, and would go a combined 5/6 from the line.
Bingham and Stanley paced the Falcons in the latter stages of the half. Michaela had four points, and Anna had a pair of late treys to put the Falcons up for good 28-24.
"I thought North Country executed very well," said LI coach Eric Berry, "They set a ton of screens, confused us, and took it the basket very well, so you have credit North Country, they made some nice adjustments."
The third quarter belonged to Noelle Pinard. The senior was outstanding, doing everything her coach could have asked for. She scored points, she grabbed rebounds, and she played solid Falcon defense en-route to a double-double (17 points, 10 rebounds).
"We know Noelle is capable of scoring, and it was really nice to her take that opportunity and nail some really nice foul line jumpers. She took people off the dribble, had some put-backs, and to top it off she had ten rebounds," said Brown.
"Transition is what always gets our team motivated, and we got two or three in a row and that was the turnaround," said Pinard of her team's third quarter.
By the time the fourth quarter rolled around the score stood North Country 41, Lyndon 33, and the Falcons, still smelling the defeat that haunted them early, went in for the kill.
For the most part it would be the bench doing the majority of the damage while limiting LI to just two points in the final eight minutes, both via the free throw.
After Pinard scored her final five points, Coffin scored six of her eight points on the night, Jaime Kramer dropped in five, and Britni Jewer and Chantal Bedard each added two, combining for a total of twenty in the quarter and a twenty-six point margin of victory.
"It is nice when I have bench I can play, and when I put people in (from my bench) I am not worried," said Brown of her 6-10 players, "Jewer came in and took some shots, picking up her intensity and grabbing some rebounds.
"I'm (also) pretty happy with Kelsey and Jamie going out there getting after people defensively."
Pinard, while taking a seat herself in the fourth, knows that to have success you need a deep team, and said of the difference between the LI and NCU benches, "Ours was amazing. They (LI) couldn't do anything and ours will step up for us anytime we need them."
The 2-1 girls will play host to MMU on Thursday, J/V kicks off at 5:00, Varsity at 6:30.

Healthy Eating For The Holiday Season
By Manduka Ambassador Rosie Acosta
With all the holiday happenings like shopping, sending cards, planning parties and eating…one can get easily frazzled and overwhelmed. These are the moments to which overeating and overindulgence sadly takes feat. It is unfortunate that this time of year usually results in an extra pound or two. It is so easy to fall prey to all the delicious and rich holiday treats that surround us this time of year. There are many things that we can do to keep it together during this time. Below are some ways I've found helpful to keep it healthy during the holidays.
1. The Reality Of It All: Now is NOT the best time to try and "diet":
That's the truth, you know...and I know it. So instead of creating a world of anxiety for yourself just try to be conscientious about where you currently are, and where you want to be in regard to your health. Enjoy yourself; don't fret if you decide to indulge here and there. Stay present with it all, instead of telling yourself "Ugh, I shouldn't have eaten that…" don't beat yourself up over it. Instead try this, "I ate it, I enjoyed it" be kind to yourself. Every moment is a new moment to try and do better next time.
2. Relieve Holiday Stress:
We all know that now is prime time for some yoga. A little stillness and a little mind silence can work wonders this time of year. If you have a regular practice or exercise regimen try to keep it up during the holidays. This is a great way to prevent any extra lbs. and perhaps work off some of that delicious pumpkin pie.
3. Don't Focus on the Food:
Rather than focusing on the plethora of holiday treats, turn the focus on an activity. It is a great time for family, friends and community. Perhaps play a board game, make wreaths, or even a gingerbread house. These are fantastic ways to enjoy what the holidays are actually about: spending time with people who you love.
4. Overeating Quick-fix:
If you happen to overeat during a meal, go light on the next one. It takes 3,500 calories to gain a pound, and unless you ate dinner at Paula Dean's house…one piece of pie is not going to make you gain weight. Don't worry, but refrain from eating the entire pie.
5. Check The Menu Beforehand:
If you show up to a dinner party hungry, it is inevitable that you're going to fill your plate to its circumferential capacity. It's like going to the grocery store when you're hungry, which is never a good idea. Before you begin to fill your plate, check out what is being served. Include veggies and fruits to keep your plate balanced and avoid foods that aren't necessarily your favorite.
The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the holidays. This is one of the few times of the year when you can really enjoy all the sweet treats without feeling like you've fallen off the wagon. If you happen to over-indulge, be honest and loving with yourself and treat yourself with compassion . We are all entitled to live a little. Remember that a healthy lifestyle means nourishing your body and your mind with everything it needs when it needs it.
Keepin' it Light: Organic Mexican Girl Favorite Holiday Recipe
Here is one of my favorite salads for the holidays. My Granny used to make it every year.
Ensalada De Nochebuena (Christmas Eve Salad)

1/2 cup raw almonds sliced
1. To make dressing, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, salt, and cilantro in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Arrange the mixed greens on the bottom of a glass bowl and layer fruit and beets over it.

Grace And Gratitude
By Manduka Ambassador Dana Damara
The words grace and gratitude get used so often; I often wonder if people really know what it means. To feel gratitude for your family, your friends, your job, your home, your financial success, your material possessions, your health…all those things is really easy.
But what about feeling gratitude for the things in your life that aren't so frilly? Like your computer breaking down? At the same time that your girlfriend decides to leave you. Or how about when you lose something that is important to you like say, your favorite Manduka mat? What about your job ending? You get into a car wreck. You file for bankruptcy. How about feeling gratitude for those individuals who talk behind your back or worse, seemingly get under your skin every, single time you see them.
Can you find gratitude in those situations?
Because honestly, that's the yoga we speak of when we talk about embodiment. It's not about the perfect posture…it's about embodying that grace and gratitude in times of adversity.
Life is not a sedentary event that we can plan out or remain rigid to while navigating through it. It is always changing, ever expanding and infinitely growing. And although we do create our lives in conjunction with our thoughts, we must also allow for Universal order to do its thing. It's co-creating... all the time.
And when we stumble, or when life seemingly pushes us into our shit, grace reminds us that it's pushing us there for a reason. And if the s@#t stinks, most likely that means that the reason is beyond our knowledge or understanding. Grace holds space for gratitude beyond our understanding. We breathe it in and allow it to just BE what it IS in THAT moment.
As we trod through those difficult times, we can do so kicking and screaming, slinging shit and mud, blaming others and playing the victim role or we can feel gratitude and allow grace to step up and bring it all in. When we truly embody grace and gratitude it's like the Red Sea parts… that breath makes way for clarity, vision and an acceptance of what is… truly what is. Not what WE THINK it should be.
The next time you find yourself facing adversity, breathe it in. What can you learn right then? Where is the light? That one breath in time will bring grace rushing to you.

What Brings You To The Mat..
By Manduka Ambassador Jessica Lesley
After a recent "yoga rebellion", where my frustration with the extreme focus on asana kept me out of classes for a few months, I developed a renewed commitment to the other seven limbs of the practice.
This rebellion came at a time where I was seeing blog posts and articles detailing the potential injuries involved with asana, and reading the comments from angry yoga practitioners - and teachers. Most of the postures in question were inversions and arm balances, the ones that make for awesome photo shoots, "oooh and ahhh" worthy magazine covers, and a boat load of "likes" on instagram. While I do not feel that the magazines or websites with yogis in pretzel like states of inversions have ill intentions, it made me wonder why are these poses are so important to us in the first place?
I took my first yoga class in a desperate attempt to end my daily panic attacks, to have some quiet time during a time of loss in my family, and also to make peace with my body image issues. In those early classes, I was not this honest with myself let alone anyone else. It was easy to say, "I'm going to yoga to be more flexible". I could avoid the reaction to speaking my truth and saying "I'm going to yoga because I am terrified of my own thoughts and am in need of peace".
To be honest, at one point in my practice, I bought into the idea that an "advanced" practice consisted of jumping back to chaturunga or effortlessly floating up into handstand in the center of the room. These movements require much focus and strength, but wasn't I already demonstrating those qualities in chair pose or by sticking to my mediation practice twice a day? The feeling of wanting to recreate postures I'd seen on magazine covers came to an end upon learning that many of my favorite cover yogis had regular chiropractic appointments or were nursing injured shoulders and bulging discs.. It was not a moment of judgement but more of a wake up call that there is more to this practice than posing.
After my initial 200 teacher training (which primarily covered asana with a bit of philosopy and chakra talk thrown in), I went on to study with Jill Miller of Yoga Tune Up®. My training with Jill focused on how to "live better in your own body". We broke down postures step by step to truly understand what goes into proper alignment and more importantly safely doing a pose. There was also a significant amount of time spent on how the nervous system functions, and on how the way we breathe can impact stress and anxiety. This has made it very difficult to focus on the poses I once loved or aspired to "perfect" and allowed me to let go of certain postures that are not meant for my body (non-attachment or Vairagya is a wonderful addition to any practice).
A recent post by Glenn Black put what I have been feeling into words.
"It's not that Black doesn't believe in the power of asana (for those few whose bodies have been properly prepared). Rather, he's revolted by the way asana has been adulterated and overtaken the meaning of yoga today. "If you want to really develop in yoga, you've got to get past the insignificance of asana and really develop the mind."
I too believe in the power of asana. I also know that asana alone is not what stopped the anxiety, or helped me move past old hurt and insecurities. This practice can have profound changes in the lives of many people, but our fascination with asana masquerading as yoga can be intimidating. Yoga helped me to slow down, to honor the body I have today, not the one I will have after a few more years of practice and working out. Taking my studies beyond asana helped to dive deeper into personal traumas and find peace. This inner awareness both on an anatomical and emotional level is why I ended the rebellion and got back on my mat.

The Universal Language Of Yoga
By Manduka Ambassador Chip Fieberg
Teaching AcroYoga and Slackline Yoga at the 2012 Korea Yoga Conference in Seoul, Korea was an unforgettable experience that was both educational and thrilling. Since our workshops consisted primarily of Korean students, some of whom did not speak any English, the first thing we had to get used to was working with a translator.
Luckily, we had some practice with how this works during the two weeks prior while assisting Ana Forrest's Advanced Teacher Training at Seoul's Forrest Yoga Studio. We learned that to achieve optimum translations, phrases need to be succinct and free of excessive adjectives. This showed us how little information needs to be actually spoken to convey effective instructions. We also found we had more time to think about our next cues, a luxury only afforded by waiting for a translator finish speaking.
Korean students are extremely polite, enthusiastic, and attentive proving how enriching it can be teaching in a new culture. Despite language barriers we did not have to repeat instructions. People payed very close attention and absorbed concepts easily. We enjoyed their love for taking video and photos during the workshops and at the end of every session, we had a line up of students eager to get their picture taken with us.
The Korean yogis surprised us with which skills they picked up the fastest. We are generally able to advance our material much quicker in AcroYoga classes, than with Slackline Yoga. This was the opposite for the Korean students. Because their culture isn't used to touching each other as much as westerners, there was a lot of giggling and goofing around in the AcroYoga workshops. Once we adapted our lesson plan accordingly, we broke down social barriers and the students had a lot of fun. In the Slackline Yoga workshops, the students advanced very fast and by the end we had most of them doing Warrior poses on the slackline- very impressive indeed!
Teaching on the opposite side of the planet was truly a cherished experience and enriched our lives in a meaningful way. While visiting a country as a tourist can be very enjoyable, immersing yourself in the culture and making close connections with the people who live there through teaching is a profound experience. We are very grateful for our time spent with all our new students and friends, and hope to return very soon.

Silence In The Storm
By Caleb Asch
Enlightenment hit me this morning while I was walking the dog. It wasn't a dramatic thing. I didn't stop drinking my coffee or walking the dog. It was a quiet realization that I had stopped my compulsive, repetitive, and incessantly negative thoughts.
Let me back up. I woke up having overslept so I couldn't do my sitting practice, and while I wasn't late, if I didn't get sidetracked by anything I could get to the morning yoga class that I teach – on time. I noticed while in the shower how irritated I was with everything; I wasn't getting what I wanted pretty much everywhere in my life. I was listening to my imaginary story about how I was being screwed over by everybody, and furthermore how they would continue to screw me over until I gave them my ultimatum and walked out! Oh what I would say to these people! Who do they think they are anyway! I could even hear my father's voice in my head yelling, (he's ALWAYS yelling) "THESE @#$%@ JUST WON'T LET US LIVE!!!"
So by the time I had gotten through the shower, shave, brushing my teeth, putting on my clothes, kissing my wife and daughter, pouring my coffee, and last but not least, walking the dog, I had a pretty good head of steam going. (Now I know where that expression comes from) I would master my domain by sheer domination. I am the Shadow Warrior! (my signature pose) I would lay to waste any fool that was stupid enough to happen into my way. Oh, and why is the Chihuahua sniffing around too much and peeing too little? Doesn't he get that I have somewhere I have to be? C'mon, c'mon Melvin let's get cracking here. I have students to decimate, c'mon get the lead out!
Finally the noise in my head got so loud and had so much momentum that I could step back a little and witness it. So simple a thing to do. So elegant. I am so grateful. The moment I could simple observe my thoughts like they were some body else's they stopped! I couldn't not see how self-righteous and angry they were. How self – perpetuating and at war with reality they were. How much of the time I live in that mind set. Blaming everyone and everything else for what's not working in my life. It's no wonder I feel like a victim most of the time. That's the quality of conversation that's going on in my head!
This morning I witnessed the noise and it dissolved. The noise just ceased. Peace. Freedom. How much easier it is to see just how much I have to be thankful for when it's quiet. How shimmering blessed this life really is. How I am the source of my experience and no one else. How friendly and totally supporting this reality is.
This moment was brilliant and fleeting. The nature of experience is instantaneous. A pristine moment of now. The trap is to try to re-create it or live it again. To live in the past. Now that I've had an experience I know that it's possible for me. Up until now I had only read about it. (And secretly coveted it) The pitfall here would be to grasp onto and identify with the past, which doesn't exist and guarantees failure of ever having similar experiences.
Now my practice is to stay "the vigilant guardian of my inner space". To cultivate and maintain the witness consciousness, and to trust the same process that led me to that moment to begin with.

PHILADELPHIA A 25-second public service announcement could win an Indian River Central School senior up to $15,000 for her school.
Sarah K. Loudon, 18, is one of the top three winners in New York Central Mutual Insurances Distracted Driving Video Contest.
She will find out at an assembly today where she placed.
Im really, genuinely excited about it, and Im also excited about the giant check, Miss Loudon said.
The video hatched from an assignment in teacher Dustin K. Burdicks video production class. Mr. Burdick said the students chose Miss Loudons video to submit to the contest.
If you can just prevent one accident from making some videos, I think its worth it, Mr. Burdick said.
New York Central Mutuals social media specialist, Lisa A. Clark, said this is the second year the company has held the contest.
We feel it is an important message for teenage drivers, Mrs. Clark said.
This year, 48 videos were received from 30 schools across the state. The top 15 videos were placed on the companys Facebook page and are eligible for a $500 Peoples Choice Award that goes directly to the student. Makers of the top three videos receive $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 prizes for their school.
Were a New York state company, Mrs. Clark said. With all the changes in the schools and having to deal with budget cuts, we thought it would be better to have the money go to the schools.
Mr. Burdick said the video production class could always use more money.
The school has been very generous, but we always need equipment here, he said. This program is only four years old.
For Miss Loudon, making videos is more than just completing an assignment. She has been taking Mr. Burdicks class for the past three years, moving up the ranks to become program manager.
She also is one of the few students whom Mr. Burdick trusts with the schools high-definition Sony Handycam outside the classroom. The camcorder is the sole piece of equipment Miss Loudon used to record the raw footage for her distracted-driving clip.
If I didnt take this class, I dont know what Id be doing, Miss Loudon said.
Her video shows scenes of the roadside memorial for a young Fort Drum soldier killed in a car accident in 2006. A Fort Drum police officer talks about the tragedy of the life lost because the soldier was texting.
They told me that the soldier who was driving was using a cellphone, Miss Loudon said. I thought that would be more hard-hitting with the students here.
Most of the time she spent creating the clip was used to whittle several minutes of footage to 25 seconds.
The deadline for the video was in December, Miss Loudon said. It took me weeks and weeks to cut it down.
The school assembly is set for 1:30 p.m. today in the high school auditorium and will feature students personal accounts of distracted driving, a lecture by Fort Drum police and an announcement of which place Miss Loudon won in the contest.
Her video can be found at http://vimeo.com/58632723.

M.A. Degree Requirements
The programs for the Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Psychology in Education require 36 points of coursework and a piece of original scholarship or research called The Integrative Project. The General Track requires that 18 of the 36 points of coursework be from the Clinical Psychology program (CCPX). The Applied Track is built around a 24-point core of courses in Clinical Psychology (CCPX). Degree requirements may be completed on a full-time basis in a calendar year (two semesters plus one or two summer sessions at the end), one year and one semester, or the equivalent in part-time study. Many students prefer to remain in the M.A. program for more than one academic year. Students may take up to five years to finish the program.
In addition to the courses taken within the Program in Clinical Psychology, M.A. students in both program tracks must satisfy the College breadth requirement. This consists of completing 3 classes (2-3 credits each) outside of the Counseling and Clinical Psychology Department (CCPX or CCPJ). The remaining points may be taken as electives within the department, within TC, or within the Columbia University campus at large.
Transfer credits from courses taken outside of Teachers College are not accepted toward any M.A. program at Teachers College.
The degree is 36 credits in total made of 18 or 24 credits within the CCPX department, plus the breadth requirement of three (2-3 credit) courses outside of CCPX/CPPJ but within TC. Any remaining elective credits can be applied to courses anywhere in the TC or Columbia University & Health Sciences campus (a.k.a. cross-registration).
All students matriculating in the M.A. Program are given a copy of the Student Handbook for the specific academic year in which they matriculate. The Handbook outlines these requirements in detail.
Information about planning and completing the Integrative Project can be found here: Integrative Project Guide
The Curriculum:
General Psychology Track (36 points total + Integrative Project)

Vegan Holiday Faux Turkeys
No holiday meal would be complete without a veggie turkey. Try these tasty turkey-friendly alternatives this holiday season for a meal that everyone can celebrate:
Field Roast's Celebration Roast
Field Roast's Hazelnut Cranberry Roast en Croute
Gardein's Holiday Roast
Gardein's Savory Stuffed Turk'y
Trader Joe's Turkey-less Stuffed Roast
Turtle Island Foods' Tofurky Roast
Vegetarian Plus' Vegan Whole Turkey
Not sure how to prepare the faux turkey? Our chefs put together a few tips for dressing the already-tasty veggie turkeys:
- Always follow the package directions for cooking.
- For wheat- and soy-based veggie turkeys, try basting them in vegetable broth while they're cooking.
- Spice up your roast by coating it in a rub. First, cover the veggie turkey in melted margarine. Then sprinkle it with Cajun seasoning and cook it according to the package directions.
- For a traditional take on faux turkey, coat the roast in olive oil or melted margarine and then spread on poultry-seasoning herbs before cooking.
- Deep-frying a veggie turkey is a good way to make sure that it's moist and flavorful. Try our Deep-Fried Tofurky recipe.
- Try basting the roast with your favorite store-brought glaze during the last 30 to 45 minutes of cooking time.
- Be sure to serve your veggie turkey with one of our delicious gravies.

Moro no Brasil,especificamente no Espírito Santo…Onde posso comprar meu peru vegetariano ?!
I wish this was available in South Africa! Consider shipping to SA!?
Christine = Quorn is a delicious product but it is NOT vegan, it contains eggs!
The gardein brand is the BEST. If I were to feed it to my staunch carnivorous roommate, she would have no idea it wasn't real. I didn't though…it was too good to waste on a non-believer.
so yummy yummy.
Can anyone tell me if these products are available in Brisbane Australia looking for turkey alternative for Christmas dinner????
I'm trying the Trader Joe's version this year. The Quorn one (not listed here) is terrible!
You forgot Quorn Turk'y roast. It is by far the best that I have had. It is made of mycoprotein and is soy free.
I live in Montreal, Quebec, and they don't have faux turkeys here. I cannot find one. Don't know about the rest of Canada. It makes it difficult at 'our' Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is difficult here to find many of the foods that are sold in the States. I wish those products could be brought over here.
I don't really understand the vegan whole turkey. I do not want to look at what looks like a skinned dead turkey.
Trader Joe's has a "Turkey-Less Stuffed Roast with gravy" that they just came out with. It is Vegan and delicious. I had it last week and plan to take one to my sister's for Thanksgiving for my omnivore family to try. I also plan to purchase 2 or 3 additional ones in December since it is planned as a seasonal item but can be frozen for use later.
I've been practicing making my own seitan, and while it's a bit of hard work it is definitely worth the effort. It can be a bit chewy, though, so I was thinking of adding some whole grain flour to the vital wheat gluten just to see if the texture improves. (It's hard for me to get to Whole Foods, though I do have a Field Roast loaf in the freezer just to be on the safe side.)
Thanks for all recipe help. I need to know how to replace meat and all suggestions for vegan life.
Anthony, I eat "fake" meat as an easy alternative for protein. I don't eat it all the time, just when I'm pressed for time and need something quick and don't have the ingredients or time to make a more healthy meal. I would prefer to eat the more healthy legumes, whole grains, etc… but time and money don't always allow.
AliChurch – both of the items you mentioned are vegan! You can read the ingredients found on their website here: http://www.fieldroast.com/products Just click on the roast you're interested in, and then select "Product Sheet" to see a list of nutritional information and ingredients.
Looked up the Celabration roast it is just Vegetarian So not eating.The Washington Post in the 2011 Taste test listed Field Roast Hazelnut Cranberry Field Roast was voted #1? Looked that up too…. Box clearly says Vegan But the discrption says – a rich, hazelnut-infused vegetarian grain meat stuffed with Field Roast sausages, crystallized ginger, cranberries and apples – wrapped in a savory puff pastry. From family feasts to a festive dinner for two, our Hazelnut Cranberry Roast En Croute???? So is this Vegan Friendly??
Thanks everyone for your commens,can't wait to eat 😀
I really don't understand why people can't let go of the mission to make fake meat. They all taste terrible, but even if you like the taste there's still no doubt they taste absolutely nothing like real meat (in taste or, especially, texture). If anything, these products just scare non-vegans away from the lifestyle. I know that's how it was for a while when my sister was trying to entice me with Boca "burgers" (yulk!)
As it turns out, there are plenty of non-meat-replacement vegan meals out there that do the lifestyle much more justice, especially for people who care about how food tastes.
If you really want turkey, go out in the woods, find a wild turkey, and eat it.
I am looking for some recipes that can be made from scratch, without the need of buying ready products. Many people, in many countries don't have access to those products. Does anyone have any good recipes with soy of tofu? I would like to put them on my website. Thanks!
Gardein's Savory Stuffed Turk'y is VERY good! It was the main entree for me and my husband for Thanksgiving. I couldn't wait to buy another package!
I use the recipe for "turkey" roast on Ellen Degeneres' vegan part of her website. It's DELICIOUS and makes a TON. It's also so very much cheaper than a processed, store-bought vegan roast, and it is really quite easy to make! Check it out! :))
May Wah makes an excellent chicken- or turkey- like product called Vegetarian Tasty Chicken. It is shaped like a little dead bird and is delicious. It does, however, contain whey, so it's vegetarian, not vegan. It closely resembles the late lamented Veat Breast but is less expensive. Unlike most other Tawanese meat substitutes that I have tried, it has no overpowering seasonings; it's very mild, and consequently versatile.
tgbonadona, go to Google and search for "gluten free vegan" and you'll get many, MANY ideas.
Oliver, I think you're missing the point of what vegan is. It means eliminating ALL animal products. What you're describing is vegetarian. Being 'organic' doesn't mean that a product is cruelty -free.
The Celebration Roasts are awesome. I get mine at my local health food store and at Wegmans. Highly recommend all of their products.
for vegan earth balance works. i happen to love hazelnut oil, it has a robust earthy flavor that works well with seitan. being on the cusp of vegan i avoid dairy like the plague so i understand the frustration, although i happen to think anything that comes from the sea is fair game, so i usually have a thanksgiving salmon. i would try different oils for flavor, an oil really can make an impact on a dish. canned coconut milk is a great substitute for most milk based dishes. try you tube too, there are great vegan cooks on there! happy holidays everyone!
Use Earth Balance instead of Smart Balance, most if not all say they are vegan.
*Tgbonadona If you eat some milk and egg products it is much easyer to make some extreme delicious dishes, and you dont have to think about if your getting enough b12 and b6 amino acid plus protein which is very very important. I have my own hens so there i got mine eggs. Imo its ok to eat some milk and eggs products if they are ORGANIC… you can get eggs from local organic farms great cheeses and organic milk. Anyway just be sure that you get enough of amino acid " sct b12 b6″ and ofc protein.
So hard to do vegan and gluten free!!! Any ideas!!!! I really want to avoid ANY animal product, milk and eggs included!!!!
Danielle: Quorn isn't vegan, only vegetarian.
These look way yummy! I'm sick of microwave tofurkey, so thanks!
Read the SMART BALANCE labels carefully..they have many varieties and not all of them are vegan. Some contain milk, whey, caasein, lactase. They do have one that is marked VEGAN, but it is not carried everywhere.
Quorn Turk'y Roast is not vegan. It contains eggs and is manufactured at a facility that processes milk products. It is however a good option for lacto-ovo vegetarians who want to participate in the Thanksgiving festivities in a cruelty-free way.
Food sounds great, but I absolutely REFUSE to shop at Whole Foods! They are a terrible company and will not be getting any more of MY money. I prefer to shop at locally owned health food stores, Trader Joe's, at my local grocery, by mail-order, or go without. If Whole Foods is the only place that carries something I want, I definitely don't need it.
I believe it was still Wild Oats before the hostile takeover when I had the celebration roast for Thanksgiving. My dad didn't care for it at all, but I loved it. I think theirs may have been different than the description above though… And who would deep fry a Tofurkey? Sounds so unhealthy and it is so small that it would be a waste of time to me. I never thought deep frying turkey period sounded right. Dangerous fire hazard to boot!
Please oppose todays day i.e. BAKRI ID in india as many goats are going to killed on today. Plz oppose in your own way.
You forgot about the Quorn Roast "Turkey". While I'm not a fan of Quorn products, it should still be included…
yay!! thanks!

NORWOOD Critics of the villages plans for the Prospect Street property once occupied by the Norwood Elementary School may put cleanup efforts in jeopardy, according to Mayor James H. McFaddin.
Mr. McFaddin said he has been battling a series of rumors regarding the site of the former school since last week, and assured members of the village board and the community that these were unfounded at a board meeting Monday.
Its been like a circus here, he said.
The two most persistent rumors are that the village has sold the 11-acre plot, or that it is planning to spend $500,000 to build a road connecting the two dead-end streets adjacent to the property. Neither is true, according to Mr. McFaddin.
The village has not sold the land and does not intend to, Mr. McFaddin said.
There was once talk of building a road, because Norwood did not own the portion of the property facing the street. This left it with no way to access its property. In 2012 ,the village purchased the piece of land in question, making plans for a new road moot.
Theres been no discussion on that, and its completely unnecessary, Mr. McFaddin said.
At the moment the village is focused on cleaning up the remaining debris from the 2009 fire that destroyed the school. Cleanup will be finished this summer, and renovations on the surviving wing will start in 2014. Concrete plans for development are still some time out, according to Mr. McFaddin, but when they come up, the entire community will be involved.
Everybody is going to have a say in the process, he said.
Mr. McFaddin said he feared that criticism from village residents could jeopardize the project, which has required a site-specific variance from the state and support from the Development Authority of the North Country to dispose of asbestos-laden debris. Without community backing, Norwood might lose the support it needs to finish the job, he said.
This takes a united front. We have to make sure that everybody is on board here, he said.

As first reported Jan. 9 at wweek.com, the 1-cent-per-ounce tax on "sugar-added" beverages is being proposed by Gregg Coodley, a Portland doctor who was active in Multnomah County's recent effort to ban bisphenol A from sippy cups.
The measure needs
16,851 valid voter signatures to make it on the ballot. Campaign manager
Rich Rogers says he's retained a signature-gathering firm, Democracy
Resources, to help, at an estimated cost of $30,000.*
Coodley expects the tax to raise $35 million. About half will go to after-school and physical education programs for children in the county's school districts. The rest will fund jobs programs. Multnomah County would administer all the money raised and set up a "jobs fund" to pay for the unemployment programs, according to draft language for the measure.
Yet county leaders are not publicly supporting the measure. "This just isn't a campaign we're involved in, and we're not taking a position," county spokeswoman Julie Sullivan says. "We've got a lot of things going on, and this isn't one of them."
Coodley says county officials have told him they won't support the measure because they're worried about backlash from soft-drink companies.
But the tax proposal dovetails with two longstanding efforts by county commissioners. One is to find new ways to boost the county's budget. In 2010, for instance, the county supported a state Senate bill that would have allowed counties to raise cigarette taxes independently to increase revenue.
Second, this ballot measure echoes recent county efforts to steer Portlanders toward healthier eating habits (see "Making Food Deserts Bloom," WW, Jan. 4, 2012). Since March 2010, the county has spent about $150,000 of a larger federal grant on a media campaign that includes television commercials discouraging kids from drinking sugary beverages.
Coodley says reducing kids' soda intake will have a big impact. Studies have shown calories from soda can lead to childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes, although research on the efficacy of placing taxes on such drinks is not as conclusive.
It's also hard to foresee how much of the tax will be passed on to consumers. Retailers would be liable for any tax not paid by distributors, under penalty of misdemeanor.
Rodgers says it makes
sense to tax sweetened drinks to help pay for programs that combat
their effects. "We're not anti-soda. It's not intended to be punitive,"
he says.

A woman flipped off a Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge and got 30 days in jail in return.
WPLG-TV reports Penelope Soto, 18, was arrested for illegal possession of Xanax.
According to the arrest affidavit, Soto told police on Sunday she had crashed her bike and was high on Xanax bars. Police said they found 26 Xanax bars in Soto's purse.
When Soto faced Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat on Monday morning after being arrested, she got in even more trouble.
After dismissing her, Rodriguez-Chomat called Soto back to tell her he was issuing her a $10,000 bond. She walked away, muttered "F*** you," and flipped him off, video showed.
Rodriguez-Chomat responded by holding her in contempt of court and sentenced her to 30 days in jail.
Soto also referenced Rick Ross when discussing the value of her jewelry with the judge.

CANTON Three lifeguards working at Taylor Park have been credited with saving the life of a Norwood teenager who was choking on a hot dog July 9.
Benjamin B. Koser, 20, and Sarah P. Elliott, 19, both of Canton, and Mercedes S. Mackin, 19, Russell, were the quick-thinking trio.
It was a team effort, Miss Elliott said. Thats what were trained to do. We were able to work together and get the job done.
Friends of Casey Merrill, 15, Norwood, alerted Miss Elliott that their friend was choking. She was manning the lifeguard chair and cleared the beach of swimmers.
Mr. Koser came out of the lifeguard shack and started performing the Heimlich maneuver.
His face was all red, and his eyes were bloodshot, Mr. Koser said. He was spitting up, and he couldnt talk or breathe.
Mr. Koser said he was scared but also felt his adrenaline going into high gear.
Miss Mackin assisted Mr. Koser with the Heimlich, which eventually cleared an airway for Mr. Merrill.
Canton Police Officer Kevin J. Mousaw said the choking victim was still in some distress but breathing when he arrived on the scene in response to a 911 call. State Police Officer Robert Larabee also responded.
Officer Mousaw credited the lifeguards for acting responsibly and professionally during a stressful situation.
The outcome could have been fatal had they not started the Heimlich, Mr. Mousaw said. They all handled it very well.
The Canton Rescue Squad took Mr. Merrill to Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, where he was evaluated.
The lifeguards were honored at this weeks village board meeting.

|Richard Rosenblat, attorney for United Mine Workers of America, discusses legal issues with representatives from C.W. Mining Co., Carl Kingston, lawyer, and Charles Reynolds, personnel manager, at a labor hearing in Price last July.
United Mine Workers of America president Cecil Roberts applauded a Jan. 31 decision by the National Labor Relations Board to reject an appeal by C.W. Mining.
The appeal would have allowed the ballots of over 100 member of the Kingston family to be counted in a recent union representation election at the Co-Op mine near Huntington.
The Co-Op mine is owned and operated by the Kingston family under the C.W. Mining Company name.
"The UMWA is pleased that the national NLRB has indicated its agreement with the Denver NLRB decision by rejecting C.W. Mining's appeal," said Roberts. "It is clear that including the votes of the Kingston family members would have stacked the deck heavily against the workers who risked a lot to finally be able to exercise their right to vote for union representation. This is a first step in winning the battle for the Co-Op miners, but there is much more to do."
In November 2004, the regional NLRB office in Denver ruled that the defined bargaining unit at the mine could not include Kingston family members because of their ties to mine management.
C.W. Mining and the company union, the IAUWU, challenged the Colorado panel's decision, appealing it to the full NLRB in Washington.
In December 2004, a representation election was conducted at the mine and Kingston family members voted. The ballots in question were challenged and not co-mingled.
All votes cast in the election were then impounded, pending a decision by the full NLRB.
In the weeks prior to the December election, C.W. Mining fired approximately 30 workers at the mine, claiming that they did not have additional proof of eligibility to work in the United States, according to the UMWA official.
Mine management also fired other workers-both before and after the election-for what it termed "disciplinary reasons." All the fired workers voted in the election. But the terminated employees' votes are being challenged, too.
The UMWA has filed unfair labor practice charges against the company, which must be resolved by the NLRB before the fired workers' ballots can be counted.
"The Co-Op miners have shown tremendous courage throughout this struggle and they can be proud of what they have achieved so far," said Roberts. "The UMWA will continue to help them try to obtain the true union representation they desire. These workers were, in the UMWA's opinion, unjustly fired because they wanted to join the UMWA."
"The law says these workers have a right to belong to a union just like anyone else who works in America. It also says it is illegal to fire them for wanting to exercise that right. We intend to see that their rights are upheld," concluded the UMWA official.

Somalia: Line in the Sand--Identification of MYM Vulnerabilities
September 09, 2010
Authored by LTC Eloy E. Cuevas, Madeleine Wells.
Continuing instability in Somalia has increased concern that terrorists who seek to establish a foothold in Africa may use such insecure places as a safe haven and launching pad for future attacks. Several attempts have been made to establish lawful governments in Somalia; however, warlord and clan interests have managed to take center stage among the population. The Somali-based al-Shabaab (also known as the Mujahidin Youth Movement [MYM]) is a militant organization born out of both successive regional turmoil and international salafi-jihadi ideology, which continues to actively undermine the United Nations (UN)-supported African Union (AU) peacekeeping force, the fledging Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG), and all UN efforts to support Somalis in creating a stable state.

This is one of both our favorites. It's comforting, crusty topped, soft centered, and very cheesybut not at all sophisticated. Just simple, kid-friendly, homemade food with the added grown-up appeal of lots of healthful carrots tossed into the mix.
I got the idea from a chef's recipe in a glossy food magazine. The chef called for cooking carrots in butter and orange juice, pureeing them, and using the puree as a sauce for mac and cheese. I tried the recipe as written and was disappointed. It was a lot of work, and I didn't like the sweetness of the citrus fruit interfering with my cheesy goodness.
So I decided to come up with my own simplified and ultra-Cheddary version. It was a huge hit with the under-three crowd and their parents, too.
It's a straightforward recipe that comes together without much fuss, other than having to grate some carrots. But to make up for that, I've eliminated the need to make a cheese sauce on the top of the stove. Instead, I toss the hot pasta with grated cheddar, butter, sour cream for creaminess, and eggs to hold it all together. The grated carrots get boiled along with the pasta, so cooking them isn't an extra step. And the tiny orange shreds look so much like the cheddar that your kids might not even notice they are there. Dahlia certainly hasn't, and while I've never lied to her about their inclusion, I might have left out the word carrot in the dish descriptionaccidentally, of course.
YIELD: Makes 6 servings
- 2 cups whole wheat macaroni
- 2 1/2 cups coarsely grated carrot (about 8 small)
- 3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Arrange a rack in the top third of the oven.
2. Cook macaroni according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water; add carrot 3 minutes before pasta is finished cooking; drain well.
3. While pasta is hot, stir in all but 1/2 cup of the cheddar and the butter. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, eggs, salt, mustard powder, and pepper. Fold mixture into the pasta.
4. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and the parmesan over the top. Bake until the casserole is firm to the touch and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
What Else?
If you're grating your cheddar cheese in the food processor, you don't have to wash out the machine before grating the carrots. Or vice versa.
This is one of those macaroni and cheeses with an eggy custard base that puffs as it cooks, and is cut into squares to serve, like a casserole, as opposed to that gooey, creamy, stove-top béchamel sauce version. I know that some people have strong opinions about proper mac and cheese (I'm an equal opportunist myself), but thought I'd let you know what you're getting.
Feed this dish to the kids as is; grown-ups should indulge with a squirt of fiery Sriracha or other hot sauce all over the top.
You can vary the cheese to give this rather plain (if tasty) dish more personality. Gruyère, aged Cheddar, pecorino, and aged Gouda will all add a sophisticated allure that will raise it above mere kids' food.

SPEEDING - POTSDM - Village police ticketed Brendan J. Carberry, 22, of Hague for speed not reasonable or prudent at 7:25 p.m. Tuesday following a property damage accident on the Clarkson University access road near the water tower. Police said Carberry was operating his vehicle above the posted speed limit and lost control of the vehicle rounding the curve. The vehicle entered the ditch and rolled over on its side, though, Carberry was not injured, police said. Martins Towing Service was utilized to remove the vehicle from the scene.
The Police Blotter
Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013
0353 Burglar alarm at Advanced Auto. Patrols responded, False alarm.
0745 Potsdam Rescue dispatched to a call on the Old State Road.
0830 Village police assisted Governor Cuomos security detail at his public address at Clarkson University.
0840 Village police conducted a scheduled disaster response drill with members of the SUNY Potsdam Police Department, Potsdam Village DPW and school staff at the Potsdam Central High School.
1447 Patrol received a report of a potential abuse case that occurred on Market Street yesterday.
1715 Patrol received a report of a gas drive off. It was determined to be an error at the pump.
1925 Patrol responded to a one vehicle roll-over accident on the Clarkson Campus.
1947 Dispatched Potsdam Rescue to a call in Norwood.
2000 Patrol received a report from a town resident of a telephone scam. The caller, reporrtedly from another country, informs the person here that one of their relatives was visiting abroad and somehow ran afoul of the police in that foreign country. They usually request that the person locally send money via a wire service such as Western Union, and they may solicit a second or third wire transfer if the first one is made. Please be vigilant and check with your relatives to determine if the person that the caller claims to be in trouble is actually in that country. Also the telephone number for the American consulate in any specific country can be obtained by calling the U.S. Department of State at 1-800-877-8339.
2148 Patrol received a request from an out of state family member to check on the welfare of a town resident. The incident was referred to the Sheriffs Department. The caller later informed the police department that she had found her sister. The Sheriffs Department was notified.

Even in that scenario-- which is highly, highly unlikely-- we'd still have virtually no depth in the system behind those players
I believe (and so do some others in this forum that know what they're talking about) that the next impact wave of quality players coming out of our farm system will be in 2014. The Calvary: The Sequel. If you want to see a winning team in 2016, or even before then, that wave of talent will have to integrate into a foundation of established talent. That won't happen if everyone is a rookie.
I understand your concern about depth in the farm system and I'm disappointed we didn't take advantage of an opportunity to invest wisely in a deep talent pool this past June. The next GM HAS TO understand that our farm system needs a major infusion of talent. I would rather see that come from improved scouting and record setting draft budgets than blowing up the team and hoping you can find 25 major leagues talents from your farm system all at the same time.
Jordan feels that Buck wants to win now. I don't have a problem with that IF we don't trade our key prospects for quick fixes, we spend whatever is necessary to fix the farm system, and we back up the money truck to the draft and international signings. Those two paths may not be compatible. If so, I would rather see us do the slow and methodical development than the "quick fix" which I'm afraid will make the ineptness of the last fourteen years look like good times.
