Admission requirements
Saint Paul College has an open admissions policy. This means:
- You can enroll if you have a high school diploma or a GED. Even without those, you may be admitted if you demonstrate potential for success in college.
- You don't have to take a standardized test to be admitted, and your high school grades and class rank are not considered.
- After you are admitted, you will take a placement test. That will tell you if you need to take remedial or developmental courses, which will not count toward a degree, before you can take college-level courses. Many students need just one developmental course, often in math or English. If you have taken these subjects every year in high school, you are more likely to do well on the placement test.
You can complete your studies in less time and for less total cost if you come well prepared for college-level work, especially by taking math, English, science and social studies classes every year in high school. Also, some programs of study require more math and science, so your high school preparation makes a difference.
Apply early in 12th grade. That increases your chances of being admitted to the specific program you want when you enter college. Some programs are more popular than others and fill early.
You'll receive top-quality education at Saint Paul College for an affordable cost. Personal attention from faculty and staff, real-world experiences and outstanding student support services all focus on helping you succeed. Be inspired and challenged as you prepare for your future career.
Saint Paul College prepares students for employment in career and technical fields, working with more than 500 business, industry, and labor representatives to provide employment opportunities.

Tuition & finance
How to apply for financial aid
Your key to receiving financial aid to help pay your college costs is filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA form. Many students don't realize they could qualify for grant money and federally guaranteed loans, so be sure to find out by filling out the form.
Complete the FAFSA after Jan. 1 of your senior year. Find the form online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or pick up the form at your school counselor's office. For help with completing the form, go to your high school counselor or the financial aid office at the college or university you plan to attend.
The FAFSA determines your eligibility for one or more of the following types of financial aid:
Scholarships are a great source of aid, and you do not need to pay them back. Many scholarships are available for students with special interests and backgrounds. Talk to your guidance counselor about what kind of scholarships you can get.
You may be eligible to receive federal and state grants of $300 to more than $9,000 per year. You do not need to pay these back.
Work study
Work study programs give you the opportunity to work on campus or with approved off-campus employers to earn money to pay for college. Work study jobs are often very flexible, allowing you to work around your classes and personal schedules.
Student loans
You also may be eligible for student loans, which must be paid back. Student loans usually have a lower interest rate than other kinds of loans.
Other ways to save
Reduced out-of-state tuition
Students from other states don't always have to pay higher tuition if they want to attend the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. If you live in Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota or Manitoba, Canada, you're eligible for tuition rates similar to those paid by Minnesota residents. And 26 of the state colleges and universities allow students from other states to pay the lower in-state rates, so ask a college or university about its tuition charges.
Tax credits
Some college students also benefit from two federal tax credit programs, the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning tax credit. These may apply to you or your family, depending on your financial circumstances.
Veterans are welcomed at the state colleges and universities. If you've served in the armed forces, you might be eligible for help with paying for college. Stop by one of the on-campus veterans centers for information, support and assistance. Also, check with the campus financial aid office about benefits from the new Minnesota GI Bill. Or go to www.mymilitaryeducation.org.

I usually order Seacure, which seems to be not available anywhere on the planet. This seemed similar enough to use as a stand in. I have no comparison as far as my systems functioning. I feel fine so my guess would be that this product is doing what I need.

Full 1st Round 2013 NFL Mock Draft
By Matt Falk | @matt_falk | Updated April 24th
Below is a look at what would happen if the 2013 NFL Draft were to be held tomorrow. With draftseason in full swing look for Onebar to add additional rounds as we get closer to the best day of the year. Check back on a regular basis as it will continue be be updated on a regular basis.
Onebar's 2014 NFL Mock Draft
This pick has come down to Joeckel or Fisher, Joeckel barley gets the nod as I see him as more polished and more of a sure thing day 1. Even if they opt to keep Albert, this move is almost a given.
Just like pick 1, Fisher will be in the mix, but when all is said and done I think the Jags take Jordan, who will add a dynamic pass rush and help win games as a rookie.
The Raiders have to go defensive line, Floyd would add an instant face to a depleted defensive line. That said don't be surprised if they look to try and trade out.
Even with the Eagles sniffing around Geno, Philly needs help along the offensive line and Fisher would be a minor steal at pick 4, fills a huge need and they get the b.p.a.
The Lions could go in a handful of directions at #5, with the loss of both of their defensive ends it will be very tough to pass on the physical freak like Ziggy.
Browns have made their man crush on Geno well known, but do they like him enough to reach at pick 6? Smith would push Weeden as a rookie to start and be more of a long-term solution at QB for the evolving Browns.
If the Cards could manage to get one of the top 3 offensive lineman without trading up it would be a huge win. Johnson is ranked very close to the other top tackles and could have the most upside out of the group.
As tempting as it is to put Nassib at 8, I just can't do it. I think they bolster the receiving corps and hope for someone to fall in round 2. Worst case, they dip into next years thick group of quarterbacks.
The Jets have a huge need at the pass rush postion and have shown heavy interest in the LSU product. Mingo is a bit raw, but would be a great fit on the Jets defense. Rex would have a field day with someone as talented as Mingo.
Milliner has watched is stock bounce around the past week due to injury concerns, but I can't see him escaping the top 10. Titans would be getting one of the best overall defenders at pick 10.
Offensive lineman are flying up the charts and at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see Fluker go before both of the guards. The Bolts need help up front and Fluker is seen as a long term solution on the right side of any line, and also has the ability to kick inside to guard if needed.
Continue Round 1 (Picks 12-22) >>
browns have a pretty good mlb in d'quell jackson
i think you hit the nail on the head for the lions, it will depend on who is taken ahead of them but barring that it should be DE or CB whichever way they decide to go. I would expect DE given that avril will want a big payday and vanderbosh is getting up there in years.
I am not so certain the Lions will take either a DE or CB with the first pick. Werner is not quick enough and Damontre Moore is undersized, consequently will be RUN AT in the NFL.
As a result, I would pick Chance Warmack, G, from Alabama, and go all defense from round two through round seven.
Dear Mr. Onebar; i strongly disagree.The Bills waste a high draft pick on another 2nd rate QB? Anything but that.A pick like that will continue to keep them in the cellar..
Luke is no fluke!.Now yer talkin' Matt! i love a foundation player like Luke and yes,there will be several reach QB's later.Hopefully one of those primo SEC guards will be available for their 2nd rounder-if so and they jump on him I think you'll see a marked improvement in Cassel's performance.Your thoughts on this please.
Your a moron. Cassel sucks. So no matter how good the line is you have to have a QB that can play the position!!
"your" a moron? What are you 8 years old?
"The Eagles have a handful of needs but none greater than offensive line."
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! That is a moronic statement, I'm sorry to have to say it.
The O-Line sucked last year, sure. But have you looked at the injuries they had? The best LT in Football didn't play a single down. Jason Kelce/Todd Herremans were both lost for the season (Kelce VERY early on). The only opening day starter that finished the season without injury was Evan Mathis who graded out as the best G in football by PFF.
They'll get Peters/Herremans/Kelce back next season and will still have Mathis. I can support drafting Joeckel because they could stick him at RT and allow Herremans to move back inside to his natural RG spot but to say the Eagles have no bigger need than OLine is awful.
They are transitioning to a 3-4 defense. They currently have no NT on the roster. They have a gigantic ? at rush linebackers. Kendricks/Ryans will be fine but who else? Graham? Maybe. Curry? Probably. Cole? No.
Not to mention that HORRID secondary. Nnamdi should be gone, DRC is a free agent. They need two new safeties since they all suck. They need a secondary overhaul.
To me, there is no greater need on that team than EVERYTHING secondary. The only person in that secondary unit that should be back next year is Brandon Boykin.
The Lions will not waste a second round pick on an OG when they have Phillip Thomas a potential impact safety still on the board. In the first round it will be the best DE or OT that is available. Fisher is a stud I can see them looking at him. In the third round look for a very fast back or OLB. They have made it clear they are looking for defensive game changers not OG, even with the departure of Petermen.
If the Lions are gonna draft a G in the first two rounds it will be Warmack in the first. The only true options at 5 are Milliner, Warmack and Fisher. And a Top safety in the second. DE can wait until the third since they are all mostly the same.
I just don't think Geno is a 1st round talent-but Jarvis Jones is and since the Bills have a huge need at LB that's who they pick.
Other than a quality QB,what do the Browns need to be relevant in the AFC central?
Could not disagree more with your mock draft of the Lions. Firs off Pugh was a better player for the Cuse inside not outside and maybe a RT. The Lions will not take a risk with Ansah no matter his athletic ability. The Lions will take one of the top three LT's when they pick at 5 and they will take the best DE in the second round hopefully Carridine from FSU. Wheaton as a WR in the third, here is the mock for the lions as I see it play out. Fills needs and places talented players replacing less talented players.
1. Johnson-OT-OU
2. Carridine-DE-FSU
3. Wheaton-Oregon State or Goodwin Texas WR
4 Comp-.Jelani Jenkins- OLB-Florida
5. Quanterus Smith-Western Kentucky
6. Caleb Sturgis-K-Florida
7.Nick Kasa-TE-Colorado
7 Comp- Quinn Sharp-P-Oklahoma State
Johnson is considered by many scouts to be overrated. He's a big step down from Joeckel and Fisher. If those two are gone and Ziggy is available, I'd be surprised if he wasn't sitting at the top of Detroit's board … and they take the best player available. The Lions staff coached him at the Senior Bowl and know his talent, plus with Ronnell Lewis getting into trouble, an already thin DE group might get thinner. If Ziggy, Joeckel and Fisher are gone by the fifth pick, they will try to trade down.

Quick Take
Leading US-based online travel agency (OTA) Expedia (
) announced its acquisition of German meta-search engine
Trivago in December 2012. Expedia plans to acquire a 61.6% share in
Trivago for an estimated 477 million euros of which 434
million euros will be in cash and the remaining in Expedia's
stock. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of
In addition to marking Expedia's entry in the meta-search space,
we believe that Trivago will help increase the company's footprint
in the European hotel market. Conducting more than 100 million
hotel searches annually, Trivago is one of the leading meta-search
engines for hotel bookings in Europe. While growth in the U.S.
travel market has slowed, European markets
offer immense growth opportunities for OTAs. The
European online travel sales is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7%
till 2016 compared to 4.8% CAGR for the US online travel market. In
our view, a higher share in the European travel market will augur
well for Expedia's valuation.
In this article we discuss the factors that make Europe an
attractive market for OTAs and discuss how Trivago can help Expedia
leverage growth opportunities in the region.
See our complete analysis for Expedia
What are the growth opportunities in the European travel
As the US online travel market nears saturation, the rising
opportunities in the European travel market makes it an attractive
destination for OTAs. Despite the ongoing debt crisis, the European
online travel market accounted for 37.7% of the global market and
grew by 9% during 2011-12. In comparison, the US market increased
by 4% during the same period.
Online travel sales in Europe increased from $118 billion
in 2010 to $141 billion in 2012 and are estimated to reach
approximately $180 billion by 2016. OTAs currently contribute 37%
to the European online travel revenues and the proportion is
expected to increase in the future.
Here are some of the key trends that will drive growth in the
European travel market:
1. Fragmented hotel market -
The hotel market in Europe is much more fragmented with smaller,
independent lodgings compared to the US where the market is
dominated by large hotel chains. Hotel chains are more likely to
offer online bookings through their own websites while OTAs are
more appealing to small, independent hotels outside the US. Due to
the fragmented nature of Europe's hotel industry, the need for
standardization provides immense growth opportunities for OTAs. On
average, over three out of 10 hotel rooms in Europe are booked
online and the proportion is expected to rise in the future.
2. Increasing online penetration -
The relatively low internet penetration in Europe (63.2%) compared
to the US (78.6%) presents an upside to online travel industry as
customers increasingly access the Internet for travel planning.
3. Growth opportunities in Eastern Europe -
The penetration of OTAs in Eastern Europe is still comparatively
low and the market continues to be dominated by supplier websites.
However, as per PhoCusWright, the OTA market is increasing by
>25% annually, increasing their share of air tickets and hotel
bookings. It estimates OTA travel bookings share to increase to 10%
in 2013 compared to 7% in 2011. Additionally, while online
bookings contributed only 16% to Eastern Europe's total travel
market, the contribution is expected to rise to 23% by 2013.
Where does Expedia stand in the European hotel market?
How does it compare against Priceline?
As per PhoCusWright, the top five OTAs - Priceline (
), Expedia, Lastminute.com, Ebookers and ODIGEO - contribute more
than 60% to OTA bookings in Europe. ((
Led by Booking.com, OTAs Fuel European Online
Travel Growth
, PhoCusWright, January 12, 2012)) Accounting for 40% of total
OTA revenue, Expedia's Hotels.com and Priceline's Booking.com
dominate the outbound hotel bookings in the region. ((
Eastern Europe: OTAs Poised for Consolidation
, PhoCusWright, August 2, 2012))
Though Expedia attracts a higher number of unique visitors in
Europe compared to Priceline, the latter is known to have a wider
presence in the European hotel market. Priceline's booking.com was
the main driver of OTA growth in Europe in 2011 and 2012 and is
currently estimated to account for 6% of the European hotel
Priceline's business is more hotel-focused compared to Expedia.
While hotel bookings contribute 97% to Priceline's total revenue,
the segment accounts for 74% of Expedia's earnings. Hotel bookings
is the fastest growing segment in the online travel market and with
more than 20% revenue margin (revenue earned by OTAs as a
percentage of gross hotel bookings), it is also the most profitable
compared to airlines (~2%) and car rentals & cruises (~9%).
How can Trivago's acquisition help increase Expedia's
footprint in the region?
Expedia's Hotels.com currently offers an inventory of only
145,000 hotels globally. In comparison, Priceline's booking.com
covers over 180,000 hotels in Europe alone. We believe that
the acquisition of Trivago will provide greater visibility to
Expedia in the European market and will help expand its hotel
portfolio in the region.
Trivago has managed to double its revenues each year since
2008. Building direct relationships with hotels has been one of its
key strategies. Trivago has an inventory of more than 600,000
hotels over 140 booking sites in 23 languages across 30 countries
in Europe. With close to 20 million unique monthly visitors,
Expedia claims that Trivago was one of the fastest growing channels
which generated rising traffic for its website last year.
Though the two companies will operate as separate entities after
the acquisition, we think that Expedia's collaboration with Trivago
will increase its visibility in the European market which in turn
will lead to rising user traffic on its website.
Our current price estimate of $63.12 for Expedia is at a slight
premium to the current market price.

"MigMReis's new Soldeu Page" Soldeu by MigMReis
Soldeu Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 30 photos
Here you have some good information that I got from a portuguese website: http://www.meganeve.com/viagem17/index.html
I translated the information I felt useful through altavista.com.
I know it has some mistakes since it's a program (not human) that have done it.
Anyway it's better this way than not to have the information, I guess ;)
I will do the translation myself as soon as possible.
Have fun.
The Ski and the Snowboard are sports practised in high mountain, and that they
demand proper equipment, some physical red tape and some cares in practical its.
We leave thus some related general advice with the mountain and the practical one
of these sports.
Trip of automobile
When travelling for the mountain in automobile we have to have some cares with its
red tape and the type of conduction on Snow, of which we detach:
• Levar always current to place in case to have snow in the floor;
• Levar a Kit substitute of light and triangle of acknowledgment for the carriage,
obligator according to Spanish legislation;
• Fazer a general walk through before the trip;
• Ter always the full deposit when arriving at the base of the mountain;
• not to leave the vehicle if surprised by a blizzard. To be inside of exactly with the
on engine and the heating to work;
• the only height where it will have to leave it I propagate will be for going
unblocking the jet pipe of the involving snow, this because, the carriage will be able
to leave to enter tobacco for inside of the poor dwelling place;
• Levar always a small shovel for the snow.
Conduction on Neve
• Never to make brusque movements;
• Never to stop the deep one;
• When pulling out in hanging place to engage 2ª speed and to pull out very softly;
• Always that possible, to lead for the twirled one left by the other vehicles;
• If to step on ice not bar, leaves propagates it to follow its path;
• Above of everything, to try to keep the calm and to lead with tranquilidade.
Red tape and protection in Neve
It is sufficiently important to make a little of physical red tape before leaving in this
type of vacation. Ginástica of maintenance and strolls of BTT or skids in string are
almost the sufficient.
In The Slots
• Fazer a good muscular heating before the first descendings;
• Avançar for the first descendings with calm, all we know that it is difficult but it
serves as heating.
• In the end of each day to prolongate the muscles well;
• Usar always eyeglasses of solar protection of good quality;
• Usar cream of solar protection, high index, for all the displayed skin;
• During the day to ingest sufficient liquids. The dehydration provoked for practical
of the sport in cause the great altitudes, is upper to the normal one;
• Proteger always the head of the sun.
The Material
For an easy learning and performance in these sports it is basic that if it uses
adequate material to each level, and that this is in good conditions. In this direction
we advise for our experience:
• not to buy material ( Skis and Snowboard ) in a learning phase;
• Informar the monitors or the specialists of the store of material lease which the
level of Ski / Snowboard of each one, so that it is delivers the material most
• Never to use two pairs of stockings inside of the boots. They provoke assaduras
and lack of sensitivity in the feet, a pair of stockings not very thick is enough;
• Utilizar clothes of Ski or Snowboard indicated for the effect, that is, has taken,
cómoda, impermeable and with good thermal isolation. The gloves to have to be of
good quality since they are the hand are the first ones to suffer with the cold
provoked for the contact with the snow. With clothes of Ski or Snowboard of quality it is
not necessary to take camisolas, ceroulas or other clothes weighed under exactly.
They will only go to confuse and to provoke a perspiration excess;
• After one day of Ski or Snowboard dries the inward of the boots, but far of the
excess of heat of the radiators;
• During the night does not leave the Ski or the plate of Snowboard close to the
heaters since these can be damaged;
• If has proper material, is indispensable to make a walk through to the level of the
pressure and state of the fixings of security guard of its Ski or the plate of Snowboard
, in the beginning and periodically during the season. The maximum security
depends on these factors.
Ski or Snowboard is accessible sports, being able exactly to say itself that the basic
slight knowledge to be able itself to enjoy are learned very quickly, the form more
insurance is through the schools of Ski or Snowboard , where the diplomee professors
teach with easiness and security guard, at the same time that they correct the initial
errors and in they provide a last upper-class time to them.
Suggestions not to forget for its luggage of trip
• labial Protector;
• protector Cream with high index;
• proper sun Eyeglasses for the snow;
• Cap and cascol, depending on the climatéricas conditions;
• Gloves adjusted for practical of Ski or Snowboard ;

ōWhat can I get for you?ö Ashley Dietrich of Oley Valley Mushroom Farm asked with a smile.ōA half pound of criminis,ö answered a woman surveying the selection at the Phoenixville FarmersÆ Market.
ōWhereÆs the bug guy?ö a man enquired.
ōThatÆs my Uncle Joe. He and Angie are at a wedding this weekend,ö Dietrich replied.
They chatted a little longer as she bagged the mushrooms, rang up the order and moved on to the next.
ōThe shiitakes sold out. I only had 3-and-a-half pounds of them. They went like that,ö Dietrich said, snapping her fingers for emphasis.
What better time to enjoy them? September is National Mushroom Month. And growers have a lot to celebrate. Nationwide, mushroom sales topped $1 billion last season, according to the USDA.
ōI like that theyÆre versatile. You can use them as a meat replacement, especially the portabellas,ö Dietrich suggested. ōThere are so many different varieties of mushrooms. You can find the one that works for you.ö
Her uncle and aunt, Joe and Angela Evans, founded the Pike Township mushroom farm in 2000.
ōWe started growing for friends, and we thought weÆd like to do it for a living,ö Angela Evans explained.
Building on her husbandÆs background in biology, they took some courses at Penn State and made the switch from hobby to business.
ōI think what people donÆt realize is: Mushrooms have great nutritional value. They have cancer-fighting properties, not just shiitake, all of them,ö Evans said.
She and her husband follow organic practices, keeping the farm chemical- and pesticide-free. They also handle picking, packaging and sales to places like the Phoenixville FarmersÆ Market and Artisan Exchange in West Chester.
ōI love mushrooms. I love my customers. I love the markets I sell to. I love all the different people I sell to, the chefs,ö said Evans, who harvests about 4,000 pounds of mushrooms from fall through spring.
Growth cycles last five to 20 weeks.
ōSome varieties are more temperamental. Some are more heat sensitive than others,ö she noted. ōWeÆre going to be adding a new variety this year thatÆs kind of difficult to grow. WeÆre adding maitake.ö
ōI really like maitakes,ö said Erin Bause of Bause Catered Events in Pottstown. ōI like shiitakes. I like any kind of mushroom.ö
The chef shared her recipe for Brunch Mushroom and Egg Casserole.
ōItÆs a brunch casserole that weÆve done many times for people ¢ the morning after a wedding brunch or an anniversary,ö she described. ōIt has a lot of flavor. Mushrooms add body to things.ö
Evans wholeheartedly agrees.
ōI cook with mushrooms all the time,ö she said. ōI love them all. I really, really like the trumpets.ö
ōIf you have a recipe that calls for a certain type of mushroom, you can substitute any mushroom,ö Evans added.
Two of her favorite recipes: Chicken with Red Wine and Mushrooms and Shrimp with White Trumpet Mushrooms.
As for Dietrich, ōI love them just on the grill with some olive oil, salt and pepper.ö
SheÆs also a fan of mushroom quiche and mushroom soup.
So when a customer exclaimed, ōI love mushrooms!ö
Dietrich enthusiastically replied, ōI love them too!ö
Chicken with Red Wine and Mushrooms
4 slices bacon
╝ cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 Į cups crimini and shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 large shallot, chopped
3 sprigs dried thyme, plus more for garnish
1 cup red wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Cook bacon in a large skillet. Remove cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Place flour in a large freezer bag. Season with salt and pepper. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Cut chicken breasts in half. Place chicken in bag and lightly coat with flour, shaking off excess flour.
Heat skillet with bacon drippings over medium heat until hot. Cook chicken over medium/high heat for 1 minute until just starting to color on one side. Turn chicken over. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and continue to let chicken sit, covered, for another 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
Using the same pan, increase the heat to medium. Add mushrooms, shallot and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
Chop cooled bacon and add it to the mushrooms along with the wine and broth. Increase heat to high. Using a spoon, scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 10 minutes. Sauce will thicken slightly and reduce by almost half. Reduce heat to low. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Stir until melted. Return chicken to pan. Coat with red wine sauce.

Shrimp with White Trumpet Mushrooms
3 slices smoked bacon (optional)
2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound white trumpet mushrooms, cut into scallop size pieces
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper to taste
fresh parsley, minced
Sautķ bacon and garlic in olive oil until garlic is soft. Add mushrooms and sautķ about 3 minutes. Add shrimp and sautķ until they are just pink. Add lemon juice, wine and water. Reduce a little. Add butter and fresh parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Serve over rice or pasta. Serves four.

Brunch Mushroom and Egg Casserole
1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon or chopped ham
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 chopped sweet onion or scallion
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
8 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sautķ onions and mushrooms in butter for 2 to 5 minutes with salt to taste. Set aside. In a blender (or bowl), mix the eggs, milk, pepper and salt. Grease a 2-quart baking dish. Pour the egg mix in and stir in the bacon, mushroom/onion mix and cheese. Dust the top with Parmesan and bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Care and handling
Ģ Choose mushrooms without visible moisture on the outside or in the pack
Ģ Store bulk/loose mushrooms in a paper bag or keep in the original package and refrigerate.
Ģ Mushrooms with open veils have more intense flavor and usually are better when cooked.
Ģ To clean mushrooms, use a soft brush to remove any traces of peat moss or soil; or rinse quickly and pat dry.
Ģ Soaking fresh mushrooms or rinsing open-veiled mushrooms may add excess moisture.

Unlike his New York colleague David Edelstein, TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz kept his year-end list to an even 10, but that's still plenty of room for surprises. His #1, Arrested Development, got ample critical love for its Netflix return, and no 2013 list would be complete without Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. But Hannibal, which he calls a "dreamspace horror drama," is distinctive choice, one Seitz, who's uncommonly attentive to formal issues, attributes as much to the show's style as its substance. Here's his complete list.
Matt Zoller Seitz's Best TV of 2013
1. Arrested Development. "When critics write that the streaming model of scripted TV offers new creative opportunities for writers, it's this kind of storytelling that they're talking about: a comic epic made of intricately crafted mosaic tiles that reveal a big picture as you binge-watch."
2. Hannibal. "[T]he most visually and atmospherically striking network series since Twin Peaks, maybe since Miami Vice."
3. Breaking Bad. "Not since the final season of The Sopranos has a cable drama been scrutinized so closely, deservedly so."
4. Boardwalk Empire
5. Game of Thrones
6. Orange Is the New Black. "A structural triumph in the same vein as season four of Arrested Development, this white-collar prison comedy from Jenji Kohan (Weeds) was also one of the most forward-thinking shows of recent years, presenting a complex gallery of characters whose stories cut across racial, class, gender, and national lines, revealing a shared humanity."
7. Girls
8. Justified. "This Kentucky-set crime drama is one of the greatest adaptations of the work of Elmore Leonard -- who died this year at 87 -- because it so effortlessly captures the master's tone of wry amusement at how people deceive each other and themselves."
9. Scandal
10. The Americans

Thanks Winniecat! I have actually grown Cosmos this year and the plants
are huge, but they don't have many flowers or buds on them for some reason.
I have had success with them other years, so maybe it was the cold, wet
spring we had on the South Coast. Gold Finches love the seeds too when
the flowers are over don't they! Lovely picture and great flowers - thank you
for posting it!
Thanks Fairygirl - I guess I'm going to survive to do a lot more ragwort
Nutcutlet - I've PMd you!
Good morning ffb. Thank you. I made a discovery today, something I hadn't noticed before. Black doesn't mean ripe for Viper's Bugloss seed. As the flower spike turns brown the seeds go beigy-brown. That's ripe. It explains why I couldn't remove the black ones. I'll be harvesting any day now, just waiting for a few more to mature
Is flowersforbees the same person as Wild about Flowers?
Wild about Flowers enquired earlier on different thread about Missing toolbar:
"I have the same problem you had Birdy13 so will take your advice and email firstname.lastname@example.com. Will let you know what happens and thank you!"
Are you both the same person? Have you now got your toolbar because if you got no response from your email you can sometimes raise them by telephone or try emailing Naomi Jones at
Hi Birdy, Yes, she is the same person.
Nutcutlet do you have/are you collecting seeds of Vipers bugloss? Would love some for one of my customers
I've PMd you addict
Thanks Nutcutlet
flowersforbees: glad you seem to have your toolbar now.
Hi Birdy13,
Yes I am the same person - ; I just couldn't get any help whatever I did, and
in desperation decided to reinvent myself!! Problem is, sometimes I get the
two nicknames mixed up and end up in a tizzy! I think I will probably stick more
with ffb, as I do have the toolbar for this, but still no toolbar for waf. Thanks very
much for taking the time to send me a message Birdy - if things go pear
shaped again I'll try Naomi Jones!
Hi Nutcutlet,
Sorry I've only just read your message - have had a very busy week! Thanks
so much for the update on Viper's Bugloss - I'm really looking forward to that!
Many thanks also for telling Birdy13 about me being the same person as waf! One
of these days I'll get myself so mixed up I won't know who I am anymore!!!
As I've told Birdy - I think it may be more sensible for me just to use
ffb as I really appreciate being able to post pictures etc. with the toolbar
and enjoy being able to PM you about things too, which I can't do on waf.
Hope you have a good weekend Nutcutlet - I'll try to keep upto date next week!
Hi ffb
Yes stick with the new name if it works better. I like the PM facility, wouldn't want to be without that. Mine's been working hard over the last couple of days on the seedshare thread.
Viper's Bugloss is ready. I can post after the weekend unless you want to wait for greater knapweed which will be about a week. lesser knapweed is ready.
Have a good rest of weekend yourself
Great - thanks Nutcutlet. Yes please - just wait until the lesser knapweed is
ready - it will save postage for you and I'm all for that these days!
Hi ffb,
It's terrible to have an identity crisis... as in "Who shall I be today?"
I actually came across someone once who introduced himself like that in all seriousness to a gathering. (Funny looks all round!)
ffb is a bit hard to say. You know, leaving a few vowels in could give us 'flofob' .
Whatya think?
Praps not.
I remember, might be more like 50years ago at least
Yes I think you're right Nutcutlet - I just don't know where all those
years went to! Speaking of an identity crisis - I've just realised that I
used waf to message Birdy - wonder if she'll notice! It wasn't on purpose -
I had just been checking to see if there were any new messages on there
for me - see what I mean about being confused??!!!!
I can take a bit of confusion. preparation for old(er) age.
Birdy is a man. He'll have an identity crisis now

Vikings' Matt Kalil to bring Pieology Pizza to Minnesota
Pizza and football go together like lutefisk and church dinners -- one just doesn't feel right without the other. In recent years, some of the sport's biggest stars have latched on to certain pizza chains, dividing pizza fans in the same manner as football fans. Peyton Manning works with Papa John's. Papa Gino's has Tedy Bruschi. And on Monday, the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal announced that Matt Kalil, the Minnesota Vikings' offensive lineman, owns the Pieology Pizza franchise rights for the entire state of Minnesota.
"We'll have six locations up and running by the end of this year," Matt Kalil's father, Frank, told the Business Journal. Kalil plans to open the first two locations in Maple Grove and Highland Park before expanding to Minneapolis, Eden Prairie, and Mankato.

Top 10 pizzerias in the Twin Cities
Pieology Pizza is a California-based concept pizza chain serving custom pizzas within five minutes. It's sort of like the pizza version of Subway or Chipotle: Customers walk down a line and choose from three sauces, four cheeses, 17 toppings, and six "after bakes." Menu highlights include herb butter, gorgonzola cheese, artichoke, bacon, meatballs, and pesto. But you don't have to settle; customers can add as many toppings as they like for the same base price of around $8. After the toppings are chosen, the personal pizzas are added to a wood-fire oven and baked for five minutes.
Pieology Pizza is just one of many new pizza restaurants banking on the Chipotle-esque fast-casual concept, many of which were born in California. Chipotle itself opened Pizzeria Locale, its own pizza-based offshoot, in Denver last May.
Pieology's local competitors include Punch Pizza, Pizza Studio, and PizzaRev, which recently partnered with Buffalo Wild Wings and will be expanding to Minnesota this year. PizzaRev and Pizza Studio follow almost the exact same formula as Pieology, while Punch places more of an emphasis on their own concoctions.
Pieology's concept certainly fits with the lunch crowd, but will football fans really run to their local franchise in the middle of a game, or will we continue to rely on Toppers and Luce for our mid-game needs? What do Hot Dish readers think?

Manchester is an old settlement on the western shore of Puget Sound, just south of Bainbridge Island. It's blessed with stunning views of the Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and the Seattle skyline. Part of the view is helped by topography: the village is spread across a crescent shaped, east facing hill that catches the morning sun, weather permitting.
Are you part of us? Our village is bounded by Nebraska Street eastward to the water and from Mile Hill northward to the Navy Fuel Depot. The village includes the settlements of Manchester, Colchester and Colby.

In the desert of the Arabian Peninsula, thank desalination plants for such an incongruously abundant water world.
IN DUBAI, a city playground in the Middle East desert, nothing succeeds like excess.
The glitzy enclave has lavish shopping malls; uber-luxurious hotels and restaurants; neighborhoods built on artificial islands; even an indoor ski slope. And, oh yes, the tallest building in the world, the more-than-160-story Burj Khalifa.
One Dubai hotel, the 1,539-room Atlantis, goes all out with a watery motif. The hotel's dramatic aquarium is fronted with an almost three-story-tall sheet of glass. For human water play there are massive swimming pools, water slides (including one nine stories tall) and inner-tubing streams. You can snorkel with sharks or feed rays in artificial pools.

LEE and GCI are both moving up.I have a short term target of $2.00-2.25 for MNI.
Longtime, Lee and GCI are both targets of Warren Buffett there has been no indication Buffett is interested in this company. Good luck, hope you are right I'd love to get out of this one. Jay
MNI is subject to a short squeeze, and a move up in sympathy with GCI and/or LEE. It is the company most similar to both of them...in terma of cash flows (though Buffett, admittedly, may view MNI's newspapers as too big city oriented for his tastes).

A Pennsylvania 16 year old yoot stabbed 22 students at a local high school this week. His motive? He was feeling guilty about his white privilege. His weapons? Two semi-automatic kitchen knives with a full steel tang and ergonomic military plastic handles. There have been many other vicious stabbings throughout America's violent, knife-loving history. The time has come for every American to ask themselves, "do we really need the Ginsu?"
Liberal legal experts have rightly pointed out that the right to own kitchen cutlery is not protected under the Constitution. And, as such, must be regulated by the federal government. Really, is there any difference between a knife and nuclear weapon? Americans don't need to personally own nuclear weapons so why would they need a kitchen knife?
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said:
"How many vicious stabbings of our children do we have to see to realize that the violent kitchen knife culture in America is out of control? Once again we see how unregulated knives have made their way into the wrong hands and our children are paying the price.
No one in America needs a knife with a military-designed point and sharpness that will cut human flesh. This is 19th century thinking. There are many other common kitchen items that can be used in place of deadly sharpened knives that serve only one purpose…to kill. Oh, and yes, spread butter.
Americans must examine if their selfish ownership of kitchen knives is costing innocent lives? Aren't their other items that can replace these instruments of death? For example, that old pocket calculator you have in your junk drawer in the kitchen could easily spread butter on your morning toast instead of a knife. Or you could use your fingers provided they have been sanitized to EPA and USDA standards. There are thousands of easy substitutes for these killing machines if we as Americans only have the guts to find them.
But there are times we realize a real knife must be used. Like in carving the Fall or Winter Festival turkey. Therefore, I am submitting HR 1776 which will require a federal license for any individual to own kitchen knives and other sharpened tools. After extensive training by the Department of Homeland Security, those who prove a need for cutlery will undergo a full psychiatric exam followed by a full criminal history check performed by the FBI. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms will make periodic unannounced inspections of the dwelling of knife license holders to ensure their cutlery is locked away properly.
Senate Leader Harry Reid is joining me in calling a ban on imports of knives used commonly for cutting like the Ginsu and other cheap, Saturday Night Special knives from China. We are also asking President Obama to create the Department of Cutlery And Edged Tools to eventually enforce and oversee all backgrounding, examinations, inspections, regulations, taxation, and enforcement of all knife and cutlery laws.
While Republicans will no doubt scoff at these common-sense measures to ensure safety for our children, Democrats are once again leading in the cause to keep Americans safe."
Other measures being considered by Democrats is making America a "Knife-Free Zone" and making it illegal for anyone to own pointed objects like pencils, sticks, fishing poles, paper clips, broken glass, and nipples.
Recently exiled Englishter Piers Morgan said:
"Once again we see the violence that perpetuates American culture! I only wish the young man had used a semi-automatic assault rifle with a 30 round clip…which no one really needs!
I'm very glad to be leaving the violent American shores and returning to the peaceful streets of Englandistan."
Local knife confiscation centers are being organized by the Department of Homeland Security. all kitchen cutlery and sharpened objects will be collected. That includes scissors. Yes, even the little dull kindergarten scissors, McVeigh!

V-MODA Bass Freq Metal In-Ear Noise-Isolating Headphone (Gunmetal Black)
" Great in-ears. I honestly just typed an entire review on them and my internet crashed. I'll re write it in the future. I will say this though. They NEED a boost from about 200Hz down. Don't be fooled by their name, they lack bass entirely on a flat EQ. That is all " --KodaO
beyerdynamic DTX 101 iE Earphones
" In short: + Stylish looks + Comfortable + Powerful bass reproduction, flat but present mids, rolled off yet detailed and even sparkly highs, usually good separation + EQ-able +- "Dark" sound signature, tends to favor the bass and lower mids. Not perfectly analytical nor overly musical +- Best for pop and pop/rock - Lack of sub-bass detail, bass can be boomy - Impact not consistently..." --Shonen84
Beyerdynamic XP1
"Before I begin with my review of the Beyerdynamic XP1, all of the below are solely what I've managed to get out of the IEM, I suggest to try it out or read some other people's review to get a clearer picture of the IEM, as my opinions are not absolute and other ears might have listened differently. Sound: First of all, this IEM is one of the three IEM that Beyerdynamic released..." --SawItComing
Beyer Dynamic DTX 80 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
" The price point for the DTX 80 at the time I bought them, was in Denmark, roughly USD 80, making it a competitor to certain Sennheiser CX- and MX-series, Klipsch Image S4, and the cheaper Sony XBA-series. Tested on: - iPhone 4 & iPhone 5 - LA DAC 100 - M-Audio Firewire Solo Accessories supplied in the box: 3x buds (S, M, L) and simple carrying..." --jakobdam
V-MODA Remix Remote In-Ear Noise-Isolating Metal Headphone with 3-Button Apple Control (Rouge)
"V-Moda is well known for having amazing construction while delivering slightly bass heavy audiophile grade headphones, but they also make in ear headphones. And the story is the same with these. The sound signature actually reminded me of a cross between the LPs and the M100s (which I personally own) and just like all of their headphones these offer a relatively balanced sound signature with a..." --gahthatscute
beyerdynamic DTX 71 iE Earphones
" Neutral sound, decent price, a combination you don't find very much in portables. Not the most comfortable after a while, but I don't think any in ear headphones ever are. If you are looking for mid priced headphones that sound excellent, these are it. " --Crazy*Carl
Beyerdynamic MXP 50 iE In-Ear Headphones with In-Line Mic (Black)
" OK, so this is a budget offering from Beyerdynamic, saw this on sale on the local Jaben site and decided to give it go! It was packaged in a neat, small box, with magnetic opening to a window to get a glimpse of what you are buying. Really nice touch to it.

Beyer Dynamic DTX 100 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
" Beyerdynamic's dtx100 is their top of the line dynamic driver iem. It has a bass driven sound very similar to the 60/80 which is a signature I like. Bass heads may be left wanting as will detail freaks but they are fun with a punchy attack and very user friendly. They exhibit marginally less bass than the 80's but extension is, if anything, better, as is clarity. Because of this bass..." --Marcus_C
Beyer Dynamic DTX 60 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
"Beyerdynamic's dtx60 is a dynamic driver iem sitting below the dtx80/100 in the range. It has a bass focussed sound which may be fine for some people but I don't enjoy massive bass when there is little definition which is what this earphone is lacking in that department. Mids and vocals are fairly well presented however and come across as good for the price. Highs to me seem harsh rather than..." --Marcus_C

The company, which counts many of Silicon Valley's biggest firms as clients, reported earnings of 15 cents a share on revenue of $71.7 million, above the expected 14 cents EPS on sales of $70.6 million. IDC's new report reiterated Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) first-place grab from Nokia (NOK - Get Report) in the worldwide smartphone market.

Final Update(11/2/08 – 6:30p): the Download page was published later during the day on Friday 10/31/08. You can either use the links below from my previous update or go to the Download page: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=131310 . The use of a Download manager is highly recommended(See Brian's Blog post for more information)
Update(10/31/08 - 2:30pm PST): We are still having trouble getting the Download page created. However, we were able to get the files uploaded to the download center. I recommend using a download manager for getting the files(See this blog post for details). Here are the download packages for the CTP:
Thanks again for your patience! For more information about the CTP, go to the CTP Feedback page and make sure to go to the feedback forums to provide feedback to the product teams on the new scenarios in the CTP.
Update(10/30/08 - 6:40pm PST): The CTP Download is currently being staged on the Download Center. It will take several hours before the staging phase completes so it might not be until Friday morning PST for the download to be live again. Unfortunately, we had to rebuild the packages which means that if you already downloaded some of the CTP parts, you will have to download the whole thing again. We are truly sorry about the inconvenience.
The good news is that we have reset the operating System expiration date so that activation prompts do not appear for the first 60 days (This was one of the issues we heard from some community members who got the CTP we originally posted).
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate the Visual Studio 2010 and .Net Framework 4.0 CTP and for your patience while we work on restoring the CTP on the download center. Teams are very excited about hearing your feedback on the new features you will be able to discover once you get the CTP. Please make sure to engage with the product teams on the CTP Feedback forums once you get it. I will post an update to this blog post once the Download link is live again.
As you might have seen in my announcement on the CTP Feedback page, the CTP Virtual PC download is temporarily unavailable. The issue started on Wednesday 10/29/08 around 6pm PST. I can guarantee you that the team is doing their best to restore the CTP on the download center as soon as possible so thank you for your patience. I expect the download to be available again later today.
I will update this blog post once the CTP is back online.
