Forget gloppy mayonnaise - this German-style potato salad is tangy with shallot and white wine vinegar.
Place the potatoes into a pan of salted boiling water and cook for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain and leave to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Heat 10ml of the olive oil in a pan and fry the shallot for a few minutes until soft and transparent. Add the vinegar. Cook until it has reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining olive oil and the thyme leaves.
To serve chop the potatoes and scatter on a large plate. Dress the salad leaves with a little of the shallot dressing and drizzle the remainder over the potatoes. Place the salad leaves on top of the potatoes.

Buffalo Chicken Dip
Made with tender chicken, wing sauce, cream cheese, blue cheese and a little garlic, this warm, creamy dip is a twist on the classic flavors of buffalo wings. We combine our easy-to-make pulled chicken and a simple homemade wing sauce (bonus recipes included), but if you're pressed for time, leftover rotisserie chicken and a store-bought sauce will still turn out a tasty dip. Serve with rounds of toasted baguette and celery sticks.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups pulled chicken (see recipe below)
- 1/2 cup wing sauce (store-bought or see bonus recipe)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 clove garlic, very finely chopped
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 5 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- Hot sauce (optional)
- Celery sticks
- Toasted baguette slices
Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.
Combine the pulled chicken and wing sauce in a small bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic, buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar and blue cheese (reserve a little for garnish) until thoroughly blended. Add the chicken and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add more hot sauce if desired.
Spread the dip in the prepared baking dish and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, just until warmed through. It's not necessary that the dip be piping hot. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with celery sticks and lightly toasted slices of baguette.
Makes 8 servings
Recipe Notes:
You can substitute any finely chopped, cooked chicken for the pulled chicken if you prefer. The texture will be a little different, but it's a great way to use up leftovers. If your chicken is freshly cooked, the dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated.
Pulled Chicken
- Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup tomato puree
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl combine the tomato puree, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, garlic and onion. Stir to dissolve the sugar and set aside.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof pan large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned, 3 minutes per side. Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken and turn each of the thighs once or twice to coat them with the sauce. Cover the pan and bake for 2-1/2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
Skim any visible fat from the pan, and using 2 forks, pull the chicken into shreds and combine with the cooking liquid.
Set aside 1-1/2 cups of chicken for the dip and reserve the rest for our Barbecue Pulled Chicken Sandwiches.
Makes approximately 3-1/2 cups
Homemade Wing Sauce
- Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (we used Frank's Red Hot)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, sugar, honey, apple cider vinegar and hot sauce over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is thick and bubbly, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter until smooth.
Makes about 1/2 cup

Angina pectoris, non-obstructive CAD
Contrast stress echocardiography will be performed in patients with angina pectoris and non-obstructive CAD on CT-angiography to detect presence of myocardial ischemia
Detailed Description:
Non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is particularly common in women and associated with reduced quality of life and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The project will recruit patients with angina pectoris and non-obstructive CAD by CT- coronary angiography for further imaging with contrast stress echocardiography for diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. Better characterization of patients with symptomatic non-obstructive CAD due to myocardial ischemia will be done by vascular assessment by tonometry, biochemical and genetic markers as well as quality of life questionnaire. This interdisciplinary project is expected to add new knowledge to the impact of multimodality cardiac imaging in improving diagnosis in patients with symptomatic non-obstructive CAD.

What if Washington made a law and nobody paid attention? Or even more significantly, what if states specifically repudiated it and threatened to prosecute those enforcing it?
The questions no longer are rhetorical but a real option as eight states consider a blanket nullification of the Obamacare nationalization of health-care decision-making advances in their legislatures.
"Thomas Jefferson advised, 'Whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers … a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy,'" states theTenth Amendment Center,which advocates a return to the constitutionally delegated powers for the federal government.

What's Inside Matters
For over 100 years, you've heard a lot about their drum rollers and drawer gaskets, their belts and hinges - the commercial grade parts they put inside their appliances. Those parts matter. They make their machines among the most dependable washers, ranges and refrigerators around. Available at AJ Madison.
But they realize you don't serve gaskets at your dinner parties. And that you've probably never fluffed and folded a roller. They know that dependability means something a little more to you than just parts and pieces.
It means having cold champagne to pop when the clock strikes midnight. Having virtually spotless glasses when your friends drop in. And cutting into a perfectly baked cake on your daughter's 10th birthday. It means having all the stuff you depend on clean, cold and cooked - on time, every time.
The way they put their machines together is never going to change. But they understand that the reason you depend on them is not only because of what they put inside them, but also because of what you put inside them.
They get it. What's Inside Matters.

Beauty Sales Post Greatest Growth in Volume Terms in Five Years
By: Fernanda Bonifacio
Posted: March 2, 2012, from the March 2012 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 4 of 4
Luxury perfumeries in Brazil have been reviewing their business model. Research shows that, in 2010, fragrances were present in 54% of Brazilian households, while in 2011, the index increased to 60% with a gain of 2.5 million households.
Even with continued growth, strong competition puts pressure on price margins of local shops, which jostle for space with large chains and e-commerce retailers such as Sack's. The impact is also felt by the increase of Brazilians traveling abroad, as perfumes are common items on tourists' shopping lists.
Willing to increase their market share, 16 perfumery chains joined forces and created the Brazilian Association of Selective Perfumery Multibrands (ABPS). The group, which includes companies from various Brazilian states, has elected a representative to negotiate lower prices with the suppliers based on higher volume purchases. "We achieved an average discount of 22%," said Jessica Souza, owner of four stores from the Universo chain. Prices are tabulated for all participating companies and the new model aims to make local stores more competitive in the market.
Fernanda Bonifacio is a Brazilian journalist who focuses on the beauty industry, and has been published in the U.S. and Europe. During 2002–2008, she represented ABIHPEC and its member companies globally.

If Dwight Howard's first trip back to Orlando since the Magic traded him to the Lakers weren't interesting enough, it's gotten a lot more—what else?—drama-filled this week.
Longtime Magic point guard Jameer Nelson spoke up today after the team's shootaround in Miami, reacting to comments Howard made in a TV interview earlier this week about the quality of players who surrounded him in Orlando.
"At some point, when are you gonna, as a man, when are you going to take ownership and stay out of the media in a professional manner?" Nelson said of Howard, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
"I would be less of a man to comment on certain things that people comment on about me and my teammates. We had a great run as a group, as core guys, and he was a part of it (reaching the 2009 NBA Finals) and for him to say things about anybody in a negative manner, that's up to him.
"That's his opinion. If that's how he feels, that's how he feels."
Howard, in the interview with KCAL-TV in Los Angeles, said, among other things, "My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face."
Needless to say, smiles likely will be in short supply Tuesday, when Howard and the Lakers face the Magic, his first game in Orlando since being traded in August.
Drafted together in the first round in 2004, Howard and Nelson were close until their relationship eroded after Howard said he would love to play with some of the league's elite point guards, such as Chris Paul, according to the Sentinel.
At the time, former Magic GM Otis Smith said Howard "threw Jameer under the bus."

Blacklegged ticks, I. pacificus, shown, and I. scapularis, are known vectors for the zoonotic spirochetal bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, which is the pathogen responsible for causing Lyme disease. The ticks, inoculated with the bacterium when they bite infected mice, squirrels and other small animals, subsequently pass the pathogens to their human victims when they obtain a blood meal. / Gannett News Service
Four deaths have been reported in medical journals from a heart condition associated with Lyme disease called Lyme carditis. The condition is being investigated in the death of a 17-year-old Poughkeepsie High School honor student who died Aug. 5; evidence of Lyme disease was found in his blood, organs and heart.
The cases, drawn from references provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, include:
� A 37-year old man who died in 2008 the day after visiting a doctor. The man reported a month-long series of fevers, rash and other symptoms. According to a report published in the journal Cardiovascular Pathology, he had an irregular heartbeat and tested positive for Lyme disease the day before he died. An autopsy found that he also suffered from heart inflammation.
� A patient who died from cardiac arrest caused by Lyme myocarditis or heart inflammation. The patient, described in a 1993 report in the Journal of Neurology, was among patients with Lyme myositis, or muscle inflammation, between the ages of 37 and 70. They came down with symptoms, including muscle pain, tenderness, swelling and weakness.
� A 31 year-old male farm worker in Great Britain � the only geographical reference in the four articles � who tested positive for Lyme disease on his first screening. An autopsy found the man suffered from an enlarged heart and an irregular heart beat; he had no telltale Lyme disease rash before becoming ill, according to a 1990 article in the Postgraduate Medical Journal. The article recommended that doctors �be especially vigilant with young patients from rural areas presenting with heart block,� a disturbance of the heart�s rhythm.
� A 66-year old man who died of �cardiac involvement of Lyme disease.� According to a 1985 report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, he died 18 hours after being taken to the hospital with chills, muscle pain and other symptoms. Lyme spirochetes were found in the victim�s heart tissue and an autopsy found that he had an inflamed heart.
Carditis occurs in 4 to 10 percent of cases of Lyme disease and usually begins three to six weeks after the initial illness, according a 2012 report published in the journal Clinical Medicine and Diagnostics.
In a statement, the CDC said it "recommends treatment, regardless of serologic [blood] test results, for patients suspected of having early stages of Lyme disease. This would include patients suspected of having Lyme carditis."

(Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)It may be one of the more improbable confrontations in sports, but New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg conceded on Monday to shoving San Antonio Spurs swingman Stephen Jackson in the first quarter of the New York Knicks' rout of the Spurs last week.Speaking from the Bronx on Monday about the city school system, Bloomberg said that Jackson came too close to a waitress who had her back to the court while she was squatted in front of the Mayor to serve him a drink. According to David Seifman of The New York Post, Bloomberg dismissed the idea that Jackson tripped over the waitress:"He didn't fall on her. He came close and I just pushed him a little bit."Jackson ended up rolling his ankle after the fall but reports are that he's fine, although he sat out the rest of the game as well as the one two nights later against the Philadelphia 76ers. He returned to action Monday night, logging 18 minutes in the loss to the New Orleans Hornets.The incident prompted Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich to call it a "mayoral mishap" but said in all seriousness that it is his hope it will prompt the league to overhaul its concessions policies."It's something that is a concern for all of us, obviously. It seems logical that while the play is going on you try to order a little less beer and when the plays stops, order whatever you want. While the play is going on, it would be nice to have all the lanes free." Promoted Stories Comments

Giới thiệu DriverMax
DriverMax là 1 công cụ giúp bạn tải những bản cập nhật mới nhất của driver mới nhất cho máy tính. Bạn không cần phải tìm kiếm trong đĩa CD, đĩa cứng hay lục lọi trên web, … Những gì bạn cần làm chỉ là tạo 1 tài khoản miễn phí, login và tải về những bản cập nhật mà bạn cần.
DriverMax is a new tool that allows you to download the latest driver updates for your computer. No more searching for rare drivers on discs or on the web or inserting one installation CD after the other. Just create a free account, log in, and start downloading the updates that you need.
You can also export all your current drivers (or just the ones that work ok) to a folder or a compressed file. After reinstalling Windows you will have everything in one place!
Most of the situations when Windows is running slower are caused by faulty driver installations. Windows stores all versions of older drivers just in case you want to go back; sometimes it messes up older versions with more recent ones. The Export Wizard will only export the drivers you select by copying the needed files to a folder or a compressed ZIP file.
After reinstalling Windows all drivers will be back in place in less than 5 minutes – sparing you of searching, inserting disc after disk and losing precious time. The Import Drivers wizard allows you to install all the drivers that you exported earlier. The entire operation might take up to 5-10 minutes.
Just one single computer restart will be required after all drivers are reinstalled!
DriverMax is able to display a complete report of all drivers (versions, release dates) installed on your system. This feature can also be very useful when you want to analyze the differences between the drivers installed on different machines.

Repeal and Replace the SGR
The Sustainable Growth Rate is a broken formula and has required numerous "patches" over the years. These temporary fixes have hurt patients and providers, cost millions of dollars, and jeopardized the Medicare guarantee. Chairman Wyden's bill, the Medicare SGR Repeal and Beneficiary Access Improvement Act repeals the SGR and replaces it with a payment system that rewards quality care and helps keep Medicare costs under control. The bill also provides continued funding for critical health services such as physical therapy and premium assistance for low income seniors.

I seem to be having a weird problem. In a workgroup environment (don;t ask ) i have installed my first Windows 2003 server R2. The server has been added to the workgroup.
There is no WINS and no A/D DNS.
Here is the problem....
when i try and access the server via \\ip address\share i am able to get into the share with no problem and it does not ask me for credentials. If i access the same server via \\servername\share it than prompts me for credentials.
I am able to ping the server via its servername and the fact that it is asking me for credntials when i go via its servername tells me there is no resolution problem.
No firewall enabled/installed, Netbios over TCP/IP also enabled and all part of same Workgroup.
What am i missing??

Desk Jockey
President Richard M. Nixon used the wrong "Wilson desk" in the White House.
The White House, the residence and workplace of
U.S. Presidents
for over
200 years,
is rich with history and tradition which incoming residents often draw upon in furnishing their surroundings. Those who inhabit
1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue may choose to place artworks, furniture, and other objects associated with favored former presidents (and other historical figures) in prominent positions around the building.
For example, throughout his tenure in the White House as Vice President in the Eisenhower administration
and again during his time as President
Richard M.
Nixon, an admirer of Woodrow Wilson (who served as
U.S. President
throughout World
War I),
specifically chose to use a desk that had once belonged to Wilson, as described by Nixon speechwriter William Safire:
When Richard Nixon was Vice President, he was proud to have in his office the historic "Wilson desk," a massive piece of furniture redolent with Presidential and idealistic associations. When he became President, he requested that the Wilson desk be placed in the Oval Office; it was there throughout his occupancy of that office, shown off to visitors and mentioned by guides with reverence. Nixon has used it hundreds of times to get into points about idealism, about how Presidents can be misunderstood, how peaceful men find themselves with need to do battle, how the distinction between men of thought and men of action can no longer be drawn, etc.
When President Nixon delivered his famous "
silent majority
" speech from the White House on
3 November
1969 to explain and justify continued
U.S. military
involvement in Vietnam to the American public, he concluded his address with a reference to this desk and the man who had once used it:
Fifty years ago, in this room and at this very desk, President Woodrow Wilson spoke words which caught the imagination of a war-weary world. He said: "This is the war to end war." His dream for peace after World
War I
was shattered on the hard realities of great power politics, and Woodrow Wilson died a broken man.
Tonight I do not tell you that the war in Vietnam is the war to end wars. But I do say this: I have initiated a plan which will end this war in a way that will bring us closer to that great goal to which Woodrow Wilson and every American president in our history has been dedicated — the goal of a just and lasting peace.
Just one small problem ... although Nixon was indeed speaking from the "Wilson desk," its original owner was not
Wilson, as William Safire found himself tactfully explaining to the President:
The trouble was, the Wilson of the "Wilson desk" was not Woodrow Wilson, as Richard Nixon and everybody else had always assumed. It was Henry Wilson, Vice President during the Administration of
Ulysses S.
Grant. My first inclination was to cover it up — what the President didn't know wouldn't hurt him — but once these things started to be bruited about, the odds were that some columnist would embarrass him with it soon.
I wrote the President a memo extolling the virtues of one Henry Wilson, an early abolitionist and one of the founders of the Republican Party and, incidentally, the man who had the good taste to select the desk at which President Nixon was now sitting. Not Woodrow Wilson, Henry Wilson — but still, "the Wilson desk." Perhaps the President could use this fact, I suggested, to illustrate a point on how dedicated we all are about historical accuracy, how you mustn't take anything for granted.
Silence from the Oval Office. From a variety of sources, I have been able to piece together some of the thoughts that probably went through the President's mind, which serve to illustrate the complexity of his reaction:
I'm certainly glad to know the truth about the
desk ...
Always knew Safire was a
smart-ass ...
How can they be sure Woodrow Wilson never sat at this desk?
This is an elitist plot to embarrass me.
The desk must have been made at the time of the Civil War; I want to know more about Grant's Vice President.
Think of all the people I told it belonged to Woodrow Wilson over the years.
Why couldn't we just leave it as the "Wilson desk" and let people think what they want?
It's good to know I have people who will stand up to me on
this ...
What's the best way to put out the truth without admitting error?
Why do they bother me with this insignificant stuff?
There goes a good item for speeches in New
Jersey ...
Wilson left so little behind; it's sad that even this symbol should turn out to be somebody
else's ...
New information keeps turning up — it could be this information is wrong and the desk really is Woodrow
Wilson's ...
I won't talk about it. Hell with it. Let 'em fix it in a footnote somewhere if they have to.
That last imagined thought was what occurred, as a "petulantly accurate" footnote was appended to the text of the "silent majority" speech in the 1969 edition of
Public Papers of the Presidents
Later research indicated that the desk had not been President Wilson's as had long been assumed but was used by Vice President Henry Wilson during President Grant's administration.

Interview with Gaius Coffey
Posted by Jim Harrington under Every Day Fiction, INTERVIEWS
[5] Comments
Gaius Coffey's piece "Terry and the Eye" is the most read story at Every Day Fiction for the month of March, and has been hailed as being "nicely uncomfortable," "amusing," and "brimming with life." Today we're sitting down with Mr. Coffey to find out a little more about him.
Gaius has written full outlines for two sit-coms, several novels, a couple of screen plays, a stage play and a radio play. He has even completed some of them. His story, "Alone, Not Lonely" has recently been shortlisted for the Fish Publishing One Page Story Prize. Currently, he is working on the final draft of a novel and flash fiction is just one of the many exciting and enjoyable diversions he has found to prevent him from actually finishing it. He lives in Dublin with his wife and two cats.
Gaius, thanks so much for taking the time to speak with us.
Flash Fiction Chronicles: "Terry and the Eye" is a story with a rather … unusual topic. What was your inspiration to write this piece?
Gaius Coffey: The actual prompt was something like "look at page 56 of whatever book you are reading and take the first line of dialogue" (the book was "A Fraction Of The Whole" by Steve Tolz). When I saw what my prompt was, it felt like I'd won the lottery; so many ideas jumped into my head and I had any number of reasons as to why an eye being open or closed didn't matter. However, my wife had complained that a lot of my flashes end with the horrific, often humiliating, and usually painful death of at least one character and… um… it was a difficult accusation to refute.
So, "Terry and the Eye" became an experiment to see if I could write something a little warmer.
FFC: How did you feel when you found out you had the most read story for March at EDF?
GC: Pretty good, actually. Thank-you. J
FFC: Your bio blurb indicates that you have a wide variety of literary pursuits. What is your favorite form to write?
GC: It depends what I'm writing and why.
When I just want to have fun playing with words, I write flash. The only constraints are the ones you give yourself and there is no pain; you have an idea, you write. It either works or it doesn't. It is rare that I redraft a flash piece and, when I do, it is almost always in response to specific feedback from specific readers whom I respect.
But, though I love flash and will always write flashes, one thousand words are not enough to tackle anything seriously.
I did try writing plays for various media and I enjoyed both the immediacy and the very visual way of thinking that those required. Maybe the ideas weren't right, but ultimately I found plays unsatisfying as, even with an hour to play with, I found the results quite superficial. What I needed was a way to get truly intimate with my characters as I explored their worlds in a meaningful way.
Novel writing gives me that. The constraints drive me mad as characters have to be credible and consistent as well as to grow and change. The plot has to be paced and the storyline tweaked to build suspense. I have frequently discarded huge chunks and edited twenty-thousand word sections down to just five. But, when it finally comes together, and the story works how I intended it in the first place, it feels great.
FFC: Who or what do you credit as your biggest influence with regards to your writing?
GC: No one influence and what I am looking for changes over time. I'm more into ideas than pretty prose so Roald Dahl was close to deity for me at one point and probably no surprise that I was also impressed by the complete realities invented by Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett (though I think Adams had more fun doing it).
FFC: Where do you see yourself and your writing in the future – say, a year from now?
GC: My current novel will be out there, somewhere, and I will be working on the next one.
FFC: That's a great attitude to have – I look forward to reading more of you in the future. Once more, thank you for your time.

Great interview. Thank you.
I would have to disagree that 1,000 words is not enough to tackle anything seriously. I think it's more or less about how a writer approaches the subject matter. I would like to use "Rain" by Heather Holland Wheaton, which is the May 4, 2010 story for EDF, to support my position but I'm probably being confused by semantics. I enjoyed reading your story.
Thanks Celeste, thanks Guy,
Sorry for delayed reply, didn't realise there were comments!
Guy, yes, I agree it is a case of semantics in that it depends entirely on what you mean by "tackle".
You can write a serious story of 1000 words (as Rain shows), you can ask a serious question in 1000 words and you can present a serious answer in 1000 words.
But I am maybe too indecisive to believe there is ever a single right or wrong answer to any single question about humanity. (There are exceptions even to apparently unarguable questions of gender, for example…)
Any reader takes a while to switch viewpoints and I read somewhere that it can take two or three pages (bigger than a flash…) for a reader to settle into a new character.
So, to explore more than one point of view in 1000 words, there is a very real danger of either losing your reader or confusing your characterisation. That means the only way to "tackle" as in "answer" a serious question is to write only the answer you want people to see and that, for my money, is not a valid approach to anything worth serious investigation.
Even the best heroes are flawed and even the worst villains have their redeeming qualities. There is another side to even the most simplistic moral dilemma.
If, for example, you were a rookie soldier ordered to shoot an innocent passer-by, would you? What if you knew that passer-by might run back and tell his village and cause a massacre of your friends, your fellow soldiers? What if you believed your army shouldn't be there in the first place?
It's all a question of viewpoint.
My current novel is asking some pretty big questions and, at times, points me toward some pretty big answers, answers that I am not at all comfortable with. I have to be faithful to my characters to make it work; none of them mean to be nasty. Nonetheless, where they interact, the tensions between mutually unreconcilable but individually reasonable view points creates a dynamic that, to me at least, is utterly fascinating.
As it stands, 100,000 words is barely enough to express the relevant viewpoints fully so as to fairly represent the questions I am asking.
And as for the answers… I hope one day you will be able to read my book to make up your own mind.

With 65 days left until Virginia Tech takes the field against Appalachian State, we turn our attention to number 65 on the roster, Mr. Joe St. Germain. Obviously, most Tech fans probably don't know who St. Germain is. That's a good thing. When the majority of the fanbase knows who the long snapper is it's normally not because he made a spectacular snap to the punter. It's probably because he sent three over the punters head during a crucial conference game. So, I'm sure St. Germain would prefer to remain anonymous amongst the Virginia Tech faithful throughout his career.

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 215 lbs
Position: Long Snapper
Year: R-Freshman
High School: Mater Dei High School
How Did He Get Here
It's not often that the Hokies travel all the way out to Jimmy Clausen's old stomping grounds in Mater Dei High School for a walk-on pledge. But, that's exactly what Coach Billy Hite did in order to get Joe St. Germain. The California native narrowed his list down to Florida and Virginia Tech in January of 2010. After visiting both places he eventually picked Blacksburg over Gainesville. With his brother being on Tech's soccer team, the family ties to Blacksburg were just too much for the Gators to overcome in this one.
2010 Season
2011 Prospectus
After a redshirt season, St. Germain will travel with the team this season and will once again be the primary backup as a long snapper. With Collin Carroll being a senior in 2011, St. Germain will likely be the next in line to take over the duties in 2012. I'm not a long snapping expert but I don't think we have anything to worry about at this position. Carroll was solid last year and St. Germain appears to be ready to take over that job. While size isn't a huge issue here, it would help if St. Germain bulked up a bit this season.
