The 2012 AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour Leg 6Written by on July 3, 2013 Event - The Drive-by-Lokar Road Tour
With the Shades of the Past Road Tour wrapped up on Saturday in Pigeon Forge it was onto the second leg of the Steele Rubber Products Triple Crown Challenge. The Drive-by-Lokar Road Tour took us from Lokar's headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee, to the NSRA Nationals North Plus in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Sunday was an open day and many of us decided to make a trip across the beautiful Smoky Mountains to Maggie Valley, North Carolina. In 2006, the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour had made a stop at the Wheels Through Time Museum dedicated to vintage motorcycles. It is an amazing display of Harley-Davidson, Indian, Excelsior, Crocker, Henderson, and much more that range from the turn-of-the-century to racing motorcycles from recent years. Owner Dale Walksler again greeted us at the door and spent time explaining the collection and answering questions about the motorcycles. If you have any interest at all in American-made motorcycles you must put the Wheels Through Time Museum on your "gotta see" list.
Monday morning it was a short drive from our Knoxville hotel to Lokar's headquarters. We were greeted by Brian Downard and the Lokar staff. We enjoyed a great hot breakfast and got a tour of how all of the quality Lokar products are proudly manufactured in the United States. After a group photo we were all given Lokar T-shirts and goodie bags. Lokar is the only company that has had their products on every Road Tour car for the entire 17 years of the series. We appreciate the continued support from Lokar and depend on their products every year.
From Lokar we headed north on I-75. It was a four-hour drive to Erlanger, Kentucky, and the C. Cook Enterprises facility. We were greeted by Clay Cook and Melissa Seniora along with a large group of rodders who had stopped by to say hello. C. Cook Enterprises specializes in metal shaping and amazing aluminum billet products. In 2010 our Shadow Rods–bodied '27 T roadster featured a Clay Cook fabricated track nose and hood. This year our '40 Ford has C. Cook Enterprises valve covers on our Ford Coyote motor along with their very cool injector stacks and filters. Everyone received a C. Cook Enterprise T-shirt and we all enjoyed some snacks and beverages.
We checked in at our hotel and made the short drive to Woody's Hot Rodz in Bright, Indiana. Chris Sondles and his team built our 2009 '51 Chevy and also last year's flamed '55 Chevy. After a quick visit at their original shop we took a short drive to West Harrison, Indiana, to see the new Woody's Tri-Five Showroom. Finishing touches are being put on what will be a store where a customer can come in and order a brand-new Tri-Five Chevy on the chassis of their choice. Real Deal Steel bodies, Art Morrison chassis, and Woody's own Gasser chassis were all on display when we visited. A walk through the facility and hot dogs and soda wrapped up a great day on the Drive-by-Lokar Road Tour.
Our Tuesday morning drivers' meeting kicked off on a somber note as we remembered the victims of the September 11 tragedy of 11 years ago. By 8:45 a.m. it was time to head north. Our first stop was at Butch's Cool Stuff in Tipp City, Ohio. We were greeted by owners Sandy and Terry Keplinger and Cool Butch Bunn himself. Butch retired a number of years ago and Sandy and Terry decided to bring back the name and the line of products that Butch's was originally famous for: frenched headlight rings, lower blocks, and their newest line of tube grilles. Sharing a building with a large antique shop and art gallery, it was a popular morning stop for everyone on the tour. Two TV stations from Dayton also stopped by to interview some of the Road Tourians and to take video of their vehicles. Our lunch stop was in Plain City, Ohio, at a traditional Amish restaurant. It was then a three-hour drive to our Tuesday evening destination of my hometown, Youngstown, Ohio.
After checking in at the hotel the first stop in Youngstown was to the original retail store of Classic Automobilia. Everyone enjoyed the displays of pedal cars, vintage toys, and soapbox derby items. From the classic showroom it was a short drive to my home and a great evening of relaxing with good food and good friends. I had invited some of my hot rod friends to bring their cars. Combined with the 17 cars on the Drive-by-Lokar Tour there were about 30 very cool rods in my backyard. I introduced my wife Mary Ann, my mom, and my brother, Jack, to the crowd. Mary Ann and Dawn Damron had put together goodie bags for all the Road Tourians. The food they had prepared was delicious and it was a very relaxing evening at our home. Thanks to Pete Mazar, Dawn, and Mary Ann for all their hard work to help make the evening a huge success.
Our first stop on Wednesday was at the National Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio. Opened 13 years ago on the 100th anniversary of the first Packard motor car, the museum celebrates the history of the Packard with cars and informative displays. Their latest exhibit deals with "small cars". It is a great museum that has the help of many passionate volunteers.
Just around the corner from the Packard Museum is the amazing street rod collection of Patty and Fred Warren. To walk into a room and see the 1994 Ridler winner and both the 1995 and the 1999 AMBR winners is pretty amazing. Fred's latest coupe project has been featured recently in STREET RODDER. Fred answered everyone's questions and it was great to see these fantastic pieces of street rod art up close.
Our lunch stop was just an hour away at Precision Hot Rods and Fabrication in Macedonia, Ohio. Local hot rodders were on hand when we arrived. Shop owners Danny Tesar and Larry Brunkola greeted us when we arrived and some great food was served to everyone on hand. Precision is a full service shop that already has a full house of hot rods in progress for folks from all over the country. Thanks to the welcome party and to Dan and Larry and their wives for a great lunch stop on Wednesday. It was a short drive west on the Ohio Turnpike to the facilities of Flaming River in Berea, Ohio. We were greeted by owner Jeanette Ladina and the entire Flaming River team. We were divided into two large groups and given a complete tour of the manufacturing facility. After the informative tour we were treated to refreshments before we headed on our way to Milan, Ohio. It had been a good day on the Drive-by-Lokar Tour.
By Thursday morning it was time for our final push to Kalamazoo and the NSRA Nationals North Plus. Our day started with the drivers' meeting and then the Drive-by-Lokar Road Tour Gallery. Everyone got a chance to pose with their vehicles. (These pictures are then posted to streetrodder.com. Just click on the Road Tour section, then the Drive-by-Lokar Tour to view the gallery.)
Our first stop of the day was just around the corner in Milan, the birthplace of Thomas Edison. It was then a three-hour drive to Auburn, Indiana. In Auburn we visited the newly opened Early Ford V8 Museum. Flathead Ford fans will be in paradise when they visit this museum. From the V8 Museum it is a short drive to the amazing Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum. We have stopped here before and each time we stop we discover new things to see. The building is the original Auburn Automobile Company facility and showroom. The autos are breathtaking and so are the displays. The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum is a must-see for any car enthusiast. By late afternoon we were all in Kalamazoo and excited about the Nationals North Plus that was to begin on Friday morning.
The three days of the NSRA Nationals North Plus were fantastic. Bright sunny blue skies and temperatures in the '70s delighted the huge crowd of over 2,400 registered vehicles and throngs of spectators. The swap meet at the Nats North has become one of the largest on the entire NSRA schedule. The Streets of Rods were a hit on Friday and Saturday. The event marked the final days of the Drive-by-Lokar Road Tour but the beginning of the Megaspeed Car Show Road Tour. It also marked the beginning of the final leg of the Steele Rubber Products Triple Crown Challenge. All six vehicles that set out with us in the beginning in Indy were still rolling right along.
The 2013 AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour schedule is now set. Registration forms can be found at streetrodder.com. Try to join us on one of the eight great tours we have planned for the summer.

"A Fine Romance" Presentation on Broadway Scenic Designer Boris Aronson
Urbana, Ohio (November 15, 2011) - The next presentation in the lecture series accompanying the national traveling exhibit "A Fine Romance: Jewish Songwriters, American Songs, 1910 - 1965" will be presented on Monday, November 21 at 4 p.m. in the Swedenborg Memorial Library at Urbana University, 579 College Way. Sylvia Wirsing-Bryant's, Ph.D., presentation "Life in the Village: Boris Aronson's Scenic Designs for Fiddler on the Roof" is free and open to the public.
Dr. Bryant will discuss the work of the Jewish-American scenic designer Boris Aronson. The focus will be on Aronson's designs for multiple Yiddish Art Theatre productions and his numerous original sets for famous Broadway dramas. Aronson had a great admiration for the Cubist painter Marc Chagall, which finds evidence in Aronson's set designs for the 1964 Broadway production of "Fiddler on the Roof."
Chagall was born in Russia but spent much of his life in France. He spent nine years in America and had a profound impact on Aronson. Chagall was a painter, book illustrator, stained glass designer and set and costume designer for both theatre and ballet. While in the US, Chagall's works were displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Art Institute in Chicago. Chagall's Jewish heritage and the Russian folklore of his youth are the subject matter in many of his paintings.
Aronson was a Russian born Jewish artist whose fame was solidified with his scenic design for the 1964 Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof. Aronson studied art and set design in Russia and Germany before moving to New York in 1923. He became a set designer for the Unser Theatre in the Bronx, the Yiddish Art Theatre, and the Civic Repertory Theatre. By the 1930's, Aronson started working in commercial theatre and created sets for shows such as Walk a Little Faster, Awake and Sing, Bus Stop, The Diary of Anne Frank, and A Little Night Music. He designed realistic settings when called for by the plays on which he worked but he was also known for his symbolic settings.
Dr. Bryant, who has been on the Urbana University faculty since 1991, is Professor of Communication Arts at Urbana University, where she teaches communication, art history; and German. Her doctorate is from the University of Vienna. Her areas of expertise include art and theatre history; German language and culture and media literacy and theory.
The "A Fine Romance" exhibit can be viewed in the Swedenborg Memorial Library, located on the Urbana University campus, 579 College Way, Urbana, during the month of November: Monday - Thursday 8am - 10 pm; Friday 8am - 4:30 pm; Saturday 12 noon - 4pm and Sunday evenings 7 pm - 10 pm. The exhibit will be closed from Wednesday, November 23 - Sunday, November 27 for Thanksgiving. In December, the exhibit will be open for viewing Monday - Friday 8am - 4:30 pm until December 14. The exhibit is free and open to the public. A series of programs will be held throughout November looking at the role of Jewish Americans in American culture. For additional information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 484-1409.
"A Fine Romance: Jewish Songwriters, American Songs, 1910-1965" was developed by Nextbook, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Jewish literature, culture, and ideas, and the American Library Association Public Programs Office. The national tour of the exhibit has been made possible by grants from the Charles H. Revson Foundation, the Righteous Persons Foundation, the David Berg Foundation, and an anonymous donor, with additional support from Tablet Magazine: A New Read on Jewish Life.

|Vehicle purchased for Holyoke PD
|Written by Chris Lee
Holyoke Police Department vehicles were evaluated, and City Council members approved the purchase of a 2008 Dodge Dakota pickup for HPD at their Feb. 2 meeting.
Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer said two of the vehicles they use now need to be replaced or maintenance needs to be done on them. He said the transfer case in the code enforcement Jeep is going bad and the Crown Victoria needs some maintenance work.
Councilman Barry Winckler said they have been lucky finding vehicles in the past that were either free or purchased for a minimal amount. But those vehicles turn out needing adjustments and repairs on down the road.
The council approved moving the Crown Victoria to Code Enforcement while getting rid of the Chevrolet Caprice and Jeep by putting them up for a sealed bid.
Councilman Ray Bailey said he had visited with another agency who used grants to purchase vehicles and asked whether or not grants had been applied for to use for the purchase of the pickup. Biersdorfer said the grants he has applied for have all gone toward equipment for the department and not vehicles.
Bailey then asked if bids had been sent out to different dealerships. Biersdorfer said he had contacted two different dealerships about his interests and Bonanza in Wray came through first.
The 2008 silver Dodge Dakota will be purchased for $20,000.
The Chief said he had researched new vehicles while coming up with the budget but thought the prices were going to be too high.
Winckler said it would be smart for future councils to take into consideration the quality of vehicles being purchased. This comes from looking at two of the cars (Crown Victoria and Jeep Liberty) now in use that will need to be looked at in the near future. He also suggested the idea of utilizing a day shift and night shift vehicle instead of take home vehicles.
Council members also approved the purchase of a 2010 Walker Lawn mower for the cemetery. $5,000 received from the Heginbotham Trust will go toward the purchase. $3,625 was received for the old mower, according to City Supt. Mark Brown.
Brown was questioned about the possibility of using the old mower at the golf course and he said it probably wasn't an option. The price they are getting for it looks pretty good.
Reports of city officials
Police Chief Biersdorfer reported Damon Ellis has completed his first year and has his Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certification.
Biersdorfer and Ellis attended a two-day standardized field sobriety testing class held in Holyoke on Jan. 13 and 20. Both received certificates.
Council members entered into a 1 hour 10 minute executive session for the purpose of determining positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations, developing strategy for negotiations and/or constructing negotiators.
A work session was held after the meeting was adjourned to discuss ballot questions. City Attorney Al Wall said to make the question a yes or no option with regard to the daily sirens.
One way to word the question was suggested and read, "Shall the City of Holyoke turn off routine daily sirens, not to include fire or tornado?"
City Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Olofson said if only three nomination petitions are filed for the three open seats, then the election will be canceled. It was said there is still time to think about exactly what to include on the ballot.
Other business
In other business Feb. 2, council members:
—approved 2009 year-end transfers.
—accepted travel requests for Zeke Finch to attend meter school and Mike Roll to attend Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference and Show.

I was doing some domain name speculating on China when it occurred to me that the fine wine market over there must be booming. Someone who lived in China for years and both imported and sold wine at the retail level had this to say.
Anything we can do to bring our clients closer to the wines they love should be a no-brainer. Whether you're a serious wine enthusiast, planning on hosting an event with many guests, or simply want to augment your wine collection, you're about to discover how to buy more of the fine wines you love, for less.
To thank everybody for a great year we have a limited-time offer for you, our valued Wine Menu clients and friends. We have recently acquired a staggering collection of rare and fine wines (just look through the list) that we've decided to make available to our Wine Menu clients only for the next three days. What that means for our members is this: For the next 72 hours you can obtain all the rare, vintage and highly-rated wines you want at average savings of $20-$70 PER BOTTLE.
How do you make an average product into a rarified beaut? Take a hint from reality TV: You give it a visual makeover. As an artist and designer, I get the impression that wine packaging, art & design could be among the next major value innovations to occur in the wine business next year.
Interesting to note that manufactured diamonds are equally as sparkly as real Flawless/VVS1/VVS Diamonds and they can be purchased for 100th the cost. Why wouldn't someone pay less for a manufactured diamond that is the real thing's equal in every way? It's a question of identity.
Real Diamonds are for those consumers, wealthy or not, that refuse to own a fake, I am one of them. A fake Rolex, a fake 1968 Cobra kit, fake purses, fake jackets, fake furs, fake eye color. There are thousands of nock off fakes out there and the diamond thing isn't a new one and it certainly will not destroy De Beers just as the CZ diamond invention has not.
It is alright with me that there are consumers that buy fake as long as they admit it when found out and not deny it. The danger in owning a fake anything is once you are known to buy knock-offs or fakes then people will naturally be suspicious of everything you own. Perhaps it says much about ones personality. What is fake but something masqueraded around as something else. This sounds like a good topic for a Doctoral Thesis.
I agree that trading up to higher quality wines yields decreasing returns in satisfaction the higher you go up. Over at WineMenu.net we're pretty sure that the biggest payoff of drinking expensive wines isn't the flavor of the wine itself, but the emotional flavor of the experience or occasion surrounding consumption.
Opening up an expensive bottle of wine in public, with friends or to commemorate a special occasion is like taking the Ferrari out for a special night in town. The actual materials that go into the making of the vehicle might be only marginally better than a low-market vehicle. But material improvements aren't what the luxury car buyer (in general) really wants. He's going for the WOW factor, and the respect and admiration of his friends.
It was in 1976 when this adventure took place. In planning this backpacking trip we decided to go first cabin. My friend and roommate Russ Thompson, his dog Seagram, and Big Red and I were living in Albuquerque then and loved to go on backpacking trips in the New Mexico and Colorado wilderness.

Mark Zuckerberg has plenty of money for more hoodies.
The 28-year-old Facebook CEO exercised stock options for a gain of nearly $2.3 billion in 2012, the social media giant said in a late Friday proxy filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Facebook launched an Initial Public Offering last May at $38 a share. It briefly touched $45, but fell to $17.55 within weeks. Friday's close: $26.85.
The company said Zuckerberg's gains came on 60 million options that were issued in 2005, about a year after he started what eventually became the social media site while attending Harvard University. Facebooks says the options were priced at six cents apiece.
Zuckerberg also received $503,000 in salary and a $266,000 bonus, plus perks valued at $1.2 million, mostly for personal use of company aircraft.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's Chief Operating Officer, didn't fare too badly, either. She received vested shares valued at over $821 million. That's on top of a restricted stock grant valued at $25.6 million.

The Forgotten Bailout
When it comes to setting public policy fires, Democrats get away with serial arson. A maladroit opposition party and a complaisant media ensure that the public will never pin the tail of blame on the donkey. Nowhere is this more evident than with interventionist housing policy. Decade's worth of government intervention in the housing market almost single-handedly took down the economy. Bill Clinton's National Homeownership | Read More »

Storm Fighter emerges from dust at Golden Eagle Farm
RAMONA It's safe to say that it's been quite a while since the phones rang as much, the buzz was as strong and the atmosphere has been as electric as it has been this week at Golden Eagle Farm.
Tucked away off Highway 78 in the spring-green, rolling hills of Ramona, Golden Eagle Farm's glory days in horse racing mostly were faded in the dust of open pastures, buried in the honored grave sites of past champions like Best Pal, General Meeting and Salt Lake.
But then along came a talented 3-year-old colt, Storm Fighter, to change all that. The son of Stormin Fever out of Thorne Seeker (by Deputy Commander) has given the surviving family members and farm employees at this historic horse breeding farm new life. And the colt couldn't have emerged as a runner at a better time, coming on after bad economic times forced horse and staff cutbacks and the death in December of the farm's head man, Larry Mabee, the son of Golden Eagle's iconic founders, John C. and Betty Mabee.
Listed at 15-1 odds on the morning line for Saturday's 76th running of the storied Santa Anita Derby, Storm Fighter has given the farm's new head man, John R. Mabee, and the surviving core of a farm crew reason to dream of the Kentucky Derby on May 4. Though he has only won once and taken a second from three starts, the colt has forced the Mabees to put future plans for the farm on hold, for now.
"Good News Day, one of our top mares, had her first foal, Wild Media, win a maiden special race last week," said Janine McCullough, general manager of Golden Eagle Farm. "It was the first race John R. Mabee (grandson of the founder, John C. and son of Larry Mabee) has been to in 10 years. He's keeping the farm going into a third generation. He's such a kind man. He told me last night that his time of taking over the farm will be the most exciting time in his life. The Mabee name will go on in horse racing, and I'm honored to continue working for the Mabees."
A win, worth 100 qualifying Derby Points, or even a second-place finish (worth 40 points), in the Santa Anita Derby by Storm Fighter will give Mabee and McCullough a reason to send the colt to Churchill Downs for his next race. But it's such an improbable dream considering the horse's trainer, Bruce Headley, at 79, has never had a horse in the Kentucky Derby, much less won the Santa Anita Derby. The jockey is Hall of Famer Gary Stevens, still in the early strides of a courageous comeback after seven years away from the game as a rider. And then there's the farm, scaled down to mostly bare stalls in 2007 when hundreds of horses were sold, reducing the stock from 750 in its prime producer as the top breeder in California and the nation, to just 53 horses today. The farm crew is down to 10 employees led by McCullough, Lori Piedra, her husband, stallion manager Manuel Piedra and brood mare manager Jesus Moran. Manuel Piedra and Moran have been with Golden Eagle for over 30 years.
"All that and we have a horse who is an unknown and virtually untested," McCullough said. "Larry Mabee really wanted to see this colt run. But he died before he could. This is the stuff they make movies about."
There's also the surveillance issue that caused such a stir this week after McCullough teamed with Headley and his daughter, Karen, his assistant trainer, to push for 72-hour surveillance for all Santa Anita Derby starters leading up to the race. They raised over $15,000 to get it done after not getting any funding at all from trainers, owners or California racing board officials.

F.S. school district budget explained
1 2 3 Next page >
Franklin Square School District Superintendent Patrick Manley gave his insight last week about the budget for the upcoming school year:
•Educational enhancements at an amount less than the tax levy limit
The New York State Tax Levy Limit Legislation was introduced into law on June 24, 2011. Beginning with the 2012-13 budget the Franklin Square UFSD, like all school districts in the State of New York, is subject to a maximum allowable tax levy increase. This maximum allowable tax levy increase is assigned to each District through a District specific formula created by government of New York State. Franklin Square's minimum allowable tax levy increase is 3.37% which translates into an expenditure increase of 3.28%.
•The Franklin Square UFSD 2013-14 budget is in compliance with the tax levy limit legislation
This year, once again, mandated retirement costs pose a significant obstacle in developing the budget. The Franklin Square UFSD is facing a $758,168 increase in these mandated costs for 2013-14. The District has worked diligently to find other areas of savings that will allow us to afford these mandated costs while not sacrificing the quality of our educational program or staff.
The Board of Education adopted a proposed budget with an expenditure increase of 3.28% or $1,128,471. The majority of this increase, $758,168, represents mandated increases in retirement costs. The remaining $370,303 represents all other spending. This includes the funds needed to operate our buildings and academic programs under their current structure, as well as costs to enhance our District through the introduction of a Prekindergarten Program and the phasing in of the 1:1 computing initiative.

Figuratively in my mind, I often roll my eyes when ever I hear someone yap away about what a self-proclaimed wine lover they are. "Blah-blah-blah ... " Now here comes the point when my hazel-colored eyes start rolling - - "We only drink red winesss." (And yes, their jauntily formed sentence often ends with a hiss.)
It's my opinion that if you are truly a wine lover - - you will at least try a wine, once. After all, that is what wine tasting is all about. Oh sure, we can have our favorites, but a true wine bon vivant has an adventuresome palate.
Okay, now that I had my tangent about opening the mind to wines, don't save white wines for summer either. Enjoy them all the time. They are so perfect for the winter comfort foods, especially those foods that are creamy, cheesy and fried. So with that prelude, I discovered a new "winter" white.
Walla Walla Village Winery Winter White - Through the years I have tasted several releases of this white blend and it just keeps getting yummier. Yes I said, "yumm-ier." Let me use that word if I want.
The latest "Winter White" is a non-vintage with 80% Chardonnay from the Celilo Vineyards at Columbia Gorge AVA and 20% Viognier from Morrison Lane Vineyards at Walla Walla.
The nose is of pears, creme brulee' and honeysuckle. The palate is creamy with just the right acids making it a great food wine. The soft and very light colored liquid also brings to the palate fruit of more pears, like the nose, and a hint of lemon. The wine has a long finish of spices such as nutmeg and just a hint of ground mace. With every sip of this wine, it reminds me exactly like an old family recipe - Pear Custard Pie.
How would I pair this wine? Well, I would consider the pear custard pie, but it would pair well with Asian-influenced almond fried chicken, fish and chips, seafood salad to name a few ideas. Or just relax and sip it with perhaps a few slices of pears and a few salty almonds or cashews.
Walla Walla Village Winery Winter White is rich, from the contents inside to the label on the outside. And speaking of label - -
Walla Walla Village Winery is not your average winery and especially not your average wine labels, either. Many of their labels are creations of Stanley Mouse. Now if you don't know who Mouse is, then you don't know your rock 'n' roll cover art. Stanley Mouse is the "Rembrandt of Rock & Roll" and with many iconic record albums and concert posters to his credit such as: Grateful Dead (first and foremost), Steve Miller Band, Journey, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Zappa, Jimi, and Janis. (Note: if you have to ask who Cream, Jimi, and Janis are - - then you are young Bieber fan or don't know your rock 'n' roll).
Only 90 cases produced.
The Weekly Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies: Cork-tease:
*All Champagnes are sparkling wines, but not all sparkling wines are Champagnes. For a sparkler to be a true Champagne, it must come from the region in France, named Champagne.
*The three traditional grapes used to produce Champagne are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, and of course, all three varieties grow in the Champagne region.
*Dom Perignon, a Benedictine monk, is considered to have "invented" Champagne. He managed to capture the bubbles in the bottle, therefore inventing a method called "Methode Champenoise," a process of double fermentation. It's important to understand that the bottle of bubbly you are enjoying is not a cheap domestic. These mass-produced wines that line the supermarket shelves, with flavors of almond and "peach passion," have not gone through the traditional double fermentation process and only had CO2 added exactly like a bottle of soda pop.
*Vintage or Non-Vintage? In a good year, about 10 to 15% of the total Champagne produced is Vintage (all grapes harvested from a single year). According to regulations, Vintage Champagne must be aged for at least three years. Non-Vintage (NV) Champagne accounts for the majority of the Champagnes produced in France. Of course, NV Champagnes are more affordable in comparison to Vintage, but they still taste just as delicious and tickle the tongue.
*There are 49 million bubbles in a 750ml bottle of Champagne - give or take a few.
*There are three traditional styles of Champagne glasses: the coupe, tulip, and the flute. Legend is the "coupe," a shallow broad-rimmed bowl, was modeled in the shape of Marie Antoinette's left breast. Sure, the story is - - umm - - rather "titillating, but this bra cup-shaped goblet doesn't hold the bubbles as long as a flute-shaped glass does.
*Your kissable lips, colored with lipstick, will actually break up the bubbles. But then again, so will anything that is greasy, like potato chips, buttery popcorn, French fries and KFC. However, in spite of the grease, do live a little and pair Champagne with a bag of potato chips.
*According to Marilyn Monroe's biographer, it took 350 bottles of Champagne to fill her bath tub.Make one of your New Year's Resolutions that you will drink more bubbly. Why wait for a special occasion, when every morning we wake up is special? In the mean time, please be safe as we celebrate the arrival of our new year.
The Weekly Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies: Tastevin
The Weekly Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies is: Angel's Share
The name itself refers to the portion of wine that naturally evaporates through the porous oak barrels during the aging process.
Centuries ago the monasteries were noticing this natural process happening in their cellars. Since there was no real scientific explanation at the time, and especially since no monk wanted to accuse his brother of sneaking sips, it was determined that the loss of the wine in the barrels signified something heavenly and they were making a lot of angels happier - a divine intervention, no doubt. So the name, "Angel's Share" arrived.
There is also a different term for the evaporation in a barrel mostly to do with whiskey. It is known as the "Devil's Cut." So depending on what team you root for, angel's share or devil's cut, just don't blame it on the brother monks.

The Weekly Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies is: Aeration
Aeration is the deliberate addition of oxygen to wine to round out and soften a wine. Why aerate the wine? The whole concept of letting wine "breathe," or aerate, is to maximize the wine's potential. Letting wine aerate, you are allowing the wine to open up the aromas and flavor profiles.
There are several tools designed for wine aeration. Frankly, I don't buy into those gadgets much. The tool of my choice, especially for wines with age? A decanter. A glass decanter or even a pitcher, clean flower vase, whatevv - - any large liquid container with a wide opening to pour the bottle of wine into. The increased surface area of the container is the key to allowing more air to make contact to the wine.
Let the filled decanter set for about 15 or 20 minutes before serving. One can even swirl the wine around, shake it up a bit or take the filled decanter on a bumpy car ride on a gravel road to create some movement.
Want to make it even easier? Simply pour the wine into your wine glass, give it some air time, swirl and enjoy.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says a revamped birth control policy will both protect religious liberties and protect women's access to contraception.
Speaking at the White House, Obama announced changes to the policy that has generated criticism from religious groups and others who say it would force them to violate their faith.
Obama urged politicians not to use the complicated matter as a wedge issue.
Under the changes, religious employers will not have to cover birth control for their employees. Instead, the government will demand that insurance companies be directly responsible for providing free contraception.

WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn. - A lot of people get together with family and friends for the holidays. Doctors say it's around this time of year that people start noticing memory problems in loved ones. A White Bear Lake couple has been facing Alzheimer's disease for five years now.
To face a trial or two in a lifetime is not unusual. But Brent and Chris Olson were given three trials in just a matter of weeks.
n August 1, 2007, they were on the 35W Bridge when it collapsed.
On Tuesday, as they looked through their scrapbook of the collapse, Chris said, "It went down behind us. It went down in front of us." The small section of bridge holding their car did not go down. Chris, being a nurse, started to help triage other collapse victims.
In the weeks that followed they were dealt two more blows. Chris was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Brent, with prostate cancer.
Chris said, "It is like, 'Oh my God? What are you doing to us?' "
Brent's cancer has since been treated, the collapse is in the past, but Chris' Alzheimer's progresses.
She said, "I'd like to have my old life back."
As a nurse, it was her co-workers who first noticed her forgetting details.
Brent said, "All her hours were cut and only one of the doctors would work with her."
It's often family who notices memory loss in a loved one, especially when reunited during the holidays.
Dr. Riley McCarten is a neurologist with the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis and University of Minnesota. He is also a Medical and Scientific Advisory Council Member with the Alzheimer's Association.
McCarten said, "If an older relative isn't acting the way they have in Christmas past, something may be going on. Trust your own feeling about it and talk about it with other family members."
He said if loved ones are veering from their usual patterns, or if forgetfulness seems to be persistent and progressing, talk about it with family. He said often signs of memory loss may be noticed by many in the family but no one talks about it.
In addition to Alzheimer's disease, memory loss can also be caused by other conditions, by medications or even stress.
He said while memory loss becomes more common with aging, it is not normal or healthy and should be addressed.
McCarten said with Alzheimer's, it is important to know that early diagnosis can improve quality of life. He said, "People can have a lot of years of good function with just a little support."
The Alzheimer's Association gets more calls to its hotline during the holidays.
The Olson's called and they are glad they did. They said the Alzheimer's Association has been a blessing as they face this disease. They have learned a lot about the disease and have made new friends thanks to support groups.
Chris is still cooking, cleaning and working a part time job. She also volunteers.
She'll be cooking for their family, including their two daughters and granddaughters, this month.
During holiday gatherings, Chris said it is important to be patient with those with memory loss. Don't get frustrated. Go easy on them.
Brent said don't abandon friends with the disease. He said, "It's the disease, not the person."
Everything collapsed under them five years ago but they have found ways to still go strong.
As Brent held Chris's hand he said, "She's my love of my life."
The Alzheimer's Association has a 24/7 information hotline. Call 1-800-272-3900.
We also have tips for dealing with memory loss for our Health Fair 11 December Know Your Numbers campaign.

I am trialing zimbra desktop as an alternative to thunderbird as thunderbird is soon to be no more as mozilla has already given the official EOL and only supporting bugfixes but no further development. sad sad.
So far so good with zimbra im happy with it, however i cannot do something that i thought i could and thunderbird did very well with the lightning extension.
In google calendar our organization has calendars and we share our calendars amoungst ourselves, in thunderbird i used to be able to add a new calendar that was my collegaues and because i had shared rights to it i could successfully view his calendar as well as make modifications to it.
For some reason i cannot add shared calendars, i can only see my own calendars.
I tried using the 'sync remote calendar option' in zimbra desktop but when i try and use the iCAL link that google tells me to use for other applications i get a Critical error, the address is not reachable.
Why is this happening ? and can some please guide me on how to add a shared calendar, this feature is extremely important to me and our organization and without it will render us not being able to take zimbra as an alternative to what we have currently.
Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Can you believe I'm still using CS2? (gasp; shock; horror).
But with almost a thousand extra plug-ins, brushes and whatnot downloaded from all over, it still going quite well for me. In other words, use what works best for you, just don't use something new for the sake that's it's new. I tried CS6 and yes, it's wonderful to use, but I still wonder what REAL difference it makes to my business sales.
Or am I missing the point?

Although Windows Mail will allow you to attach a file of any type, for security reasons many e‑mail programs (including Windows Mail) prevent recipients from opening executable file attachments, such as those with .exe, .bat, and .inf file name extensions.


text: We've been running both exchange and zimbra in a split domain environment for approximately 4 months now. We are slowly moving people off exchange and dealing with any abnormalities as they show up(which have been very few). A problem that plagues us, though, is how to sync free/busy time and resources across the divide. While appointments work seamlessly across platforms, our main complaint is that users calendars are not visible and resources can not be booked between exchange/zimbra. Getting this to function in the interim would be a big plus. Does anybody have this working? If so, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

First of all i'm extremely excited about Zimbra - i'm ecstatic to be done with Microsoft Outlook.
We're using 01.com's service for our Zimbra installation and everything so far has been excellent. There's one small thing i'd like to find a work-around for..
I have my main account, say firstname.lastname@example.com. I also maintain a separate account on Gmail lets say email@example.com. I'm able to access my external gmail account through IMAP but it appears i can't specify GMail as my outgoing SMTP server for outbound messages on this account. When i send a reply to my external account the header shows my main account e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com). What i'm trying to do is make sure there is no 'connection' between the two accounts. Am i out of luck?

ATLANTA -- 11Alive is making a difference! We've exposed the risks of stolen luggage at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and now officials are taking notice.
Just a day after we exposed stolen Delta bags lying in a field, police presence around Delta's carousels was noticeably different.
RELATED | Sign Our Atlanta Airport Security Petition
RELATED | Hartsfield Jackson-Airport Lost and Found links
"There's embarrassment here for Delta and there's embarrassment here for Atlanta Airport Authority," said travel consultant Lawton Roberts, who watched our investigations.
Atlanta Police is in charge of security for the entire airport, but the airlines can do more to protect their customers. We've demonstrated how airlines, in the North Terminal, have hired extra security officers to do random tag checks. Delta, however, does not do that in the South Terminal.
"I think Delta should step up to the plate now and realize they're getting billions for baggage fees. They now have the responsibility to protect the security of their passengers luggage, after all, the passenger did pay extra for them to do that," Roberts said.
If you suspect your luggage is stolen, you can contact the Atlanta Police Airport Precinct at 404-530-6630 or call 911.

Mike Garafolo, USA TODAY Sports
BOSTON - As expected, the Super Bowl is officially returning to California.
At their spring meeting on Tuesday, NFL owners awarded Super Bowl L in 2016 to the Bay Area and the San Francisco 49ers' Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, ending what will be a 13-year drought for the state that has hosted 11 Super Bowls.
The last Super Bowl in California was in January 2003, when Super Bowl XXXVII was played in San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium.
It's the second Bay Area Super Bowl, coming after Super Bowl XIX at Stanford.
The owners also awarded Super Bowl LI (2017) to Houston's Reliant Stadium, which hosted Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004.
South Florida was shut out in its bid for both Super Bowls, which isn't surprising, considering the Miami Dolphins were unable to secure funding for renovations to Sun Life Stadium. Miami and Ft. Lauderdale could wind up being taken out of the rotation, just as San Diego has been, because of an outdated facility.
Next year's Super Bowl will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The following year, the game returns to Glendale, Ariz., which hosted Super Bowl XLII in 2008.
The 49ers' new stadium is being built and is scheduled to open for the 2014 season. With the NFL showing a penchant for bringing is championship game to new venues -- Dallas and Indianapolis recently, New Jersey next February -- many believed Santa Clara was a slam-dunk choice.
"I think with the new stadium ... we can host a Super Bowl there," Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice said. "It's going to be awesome. So I realize there's a lot of history at Candlestick. To stay competitive in the NFL, this is something we have really needed for a long, long time, and I think it's going to be awesome."
Not so awesome for the Miami area was a defeat in the state Legislature earlier this month that could severely damage its hopes of being chosen as the 2016 host. Or, for that matter, for South Florida to beat Houston for the 2017 game should it lose to San Francisco for the 50th edition. Both sites will be decided Tuesday.
The Dolphins were denied public money for a stadium upgrade. Multibillionaire Dolphins owner Stephen Ross contends $350 million in stadium improvements are badly needed, but he doesn't want to pay for them by himself. Nor does he want a scaled-down renovation of the 26-year-old facility.
For years, it was thought the NFL would seek to stage the 50th Super Bowl in Los Angeles, where the first one was played (but did not sell out) on Jan. 15, 1967. But with no franchise in LA and no suitable stadium projects approved, that hope disappeared.
Next Feb. 2, the game goes outdoors in a cold-weather site for the first time, at MetLife Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands. If that gamble pays off for the NFL, look for other cities in similar climates -- Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver -- to bid for future Super Bowls.
The league also has expressed great satisfaction with how Indianapolis handled the big game in 2012. New Orleans is a regular bidder, and Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the power outage during last year's game will not impact voting on the Big Easy hosting another Super Bowl.
The 2015 game will be played in the Phoenix area.
Earlier in the day, owners approved a $200 million loan for the Atlanta Falcons to build a new stadium. The multipurpose facility could cost as much as $1 billion, with team owner Arthur Blank committed to funding most of it.
Blank called the decision by the team owners an "important milestone" in moving the project forward.
"The NFL has supported new stadium construction through various means for decades," he said. "Our club owners understand that investments ... are important to the long-term strength of the league, and we thank them for their support."
The stadium also will be built with $200 million from public bonds.
Blank said the design and construction of the Falcons' new home will take place over the next four years and the team plans to open the 2017 season there. The Georgia Dome, which opened in 1992, will be demolished when the new stadium opens.

Backup generators should be required countywide

In the chaotic weeks after Hurricane Sandy rolled across Nassau County, residents, desperate for the gasoline that was in such short supply, learned a new routine: get up before dawn and get to an open gas station before your friends and neighbors did. It was survival of the fittest — or at least the most sleep-deprived.

Rumors abound about this full-moon party at the Surfside Shack in Apple Bay features as its star Mr Bomba himself, grand chef of the infamous Midnight Tea. The composition of this strange brew? Visitors are warned! What is known is that the brew contains rum (lots of it) and local fruit juices, and that it bubbles away in a cauldron across the road from the Shack itself, a ramshackle aggregate of aluminium sidings, planks, graffitied plywood and other bits of construction material. A blissful haze of rum and fruit juice, dancing feet on sand, lapping waves and sweet soothing reggae rhythms promises to sweep you away into the tropical night, carrying you through until the sun rises over the waves... Need we say more? Bomba's Surf Shack on Tortola holds this monthly extravaganza on Full Moon nights.

If you know the citation to a case, statute, law review, or treatise, or the name of a party in a case, you can use the Find feature. Click on Find which is located on the navigation bar at the top of the screen.
There are several databases available for you to conduct your legal research. However, there are some databases that do not fall within our subscription plan, which if selected will show the message: Your request to access _____ cannot be processed because use of this database is not authorized under your subscription agreement.
To select a database:
Use search terms that relate to the important issues and facts involved in your research. Do not use a common word such as "law." Think of unique terms or phrases that describe your topic.
There are two types of searches that can be done:
You can join search terms by using connectors and expanders, restrict your search so that search terms only appear in specified fields, and limit by date.
Using Connectors Between Words & Phrases: Connectors specify the relationship between two terms. The chart below provides the connector, symbol used, and what it retrieves.
All the terms must appear in the same document or field.
At least one of the connected terms must be in the document.
" "
Search terms appear in the same order as in the quotation marks.
Grammatical Connectors
Search terms appear in the same sentence.
Search terms appear in the same paragraph.
First term precedes the second term in the same sentence.
First term precedes the second term in the same paragraph.
Numerical Connectors
Search terms must appear within n words of each other. (n is a number).
First search term must precede the second term with n words of each other.
But Not
Documents do not contain the term or terms following the % symbol (Caution: this may eliminate relevant documents).
Root Expander (!) retrieves words with variant endings. When an exclamation point (!) is placed at the end of a root term, you retrieve all possible endings. For example, obey! yields obeyed, obeying, etc.
Universal Character (*) represents one character. It can be placed within or at the end of a term. When you place an asterisk within a term, it requires that a character appear in that position. For example, wom*n retrieves woman or women . When an asterisk is placed at the end of a term, it specifies the maximum length of that term. For example, educat*** retrieves educate, educated, and educating, but not educational.
Turning Off Plurals: Westlaw automatically retrieves plurals when you enter the singular form of a term. You can turn off plurals of a particular term by placing the # symbol in front of the term. To retrieve damage but not damages, type #damage.
Field Restrictions: You can limit your search by restricting your terms to specified fields. Field restrictions vary according to the type of source being used. Below are examples of some field restrictions that can be used.
Law Reviews
Date Restrictions: There are pre-set date choices which range from Today through Unrestricted (all available dates). The default is Unrestricted. Alternatively, you can customize the dates using the After, Before, Between, Specific, and Last options.
Think about the purpose of your research before using a date restriction. Here are some factors to consider:
Natural Language searching allows a researcher to use plain language when looking for materials on a legal topic. The search screen default is Terms and Connectors. To search using natural language, click on the Natural Language tab. In the text box, type in your search request as if you were writing a sentence (e.g., Do noncustodial grandparents have visitation rights?)
You can further customize your Natural Language search by using the thesaurus, control concepts, date restrictions and other applicable restrictions.
KeyCite is a citation research service. When you enter the citation to a case, statute, administrative decision, or regulation, KeyCite, using colored flags and letters, will indicate whether that document is still good law and also provide a list of citing references.
Red Flag—indicates that a case or administrative decision is no longer good law for at least one of its points. For statutes and regulations, it indicates that it has been amended, repealed etc.
Yellow Flag—warns that the case, statute, regulation or administrative decision has received some negative treatment.
Blue H—indicates that a case or administrative decision has received some history.
Green C—means that a case or administrative decision has citing references but no direct or indirect negative history.
Star Ratings—indicates how much the citing case discusses the cited case.
Quotation Marks—indicates that a citing case directly quotes the cited case or administrative decision.

Republican lawmakers tried Tuesday to tie the spending scandal at the General Services Administration to the White House, pressing current and former agency officials to explain why they met with senior administration officials two weeks before disciplining most of the implicated officials.
At a congressional hearing Tuesday, former GSA Administrator Martha Johnson acknowledged that she met with several top White House officials — including chief of staff Jack Lew and Personnel Director Nancy Hogan — as early as mid-March about the scandal.
Johnson put Region 9 Public Building Regional Commissioner Jeffrey Neely on leave on March 19. But she didn't resign and discipline other top agency officials until the GSA's inspector general officially released a report April 2 documenting lavish spending for a Las Vegas conference in 2010 that cost $823,000.
The GSA, which manages federal properties, is also being investigated for how resources were spent on other outings and conferences, including trips to Hawaii, Atlanta and Napa, Calif., and an interns' conference in Palm Springs, Calif., attended by 150 people.
Neely, the official at the center of the scandal, wasn't present at Tuesday's hearing. On Monday, Neely repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
As Republicans tried to suggest a cover-up by the White House, Johnson testified Tuesday that she never spoke to President Barack Obama, but she said she did have "informational" meetings with other top administration officials the weeks of March 18 and March 25.
Besides Lew and Hogan, officials from the White House counsel's office and the president's communications staff attended some of those meetings, Johnson said.
"Those meetings were about policy," Johnson told Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., head of the Transportation subcommittee on public buildings. "We wanted to talk with them about travel policy, because obviously they are interested in how we can move forward after this event."
Denham pressed Johnson to explain why it took "all the way up to April 2nd" to fire Stephen Leeds, her chief counsel, and Bob Peck, head of the public building department, and "to put all of the other administrators on leave."
"I was working particularly with our HR (human resources) senior executives and a senior executive in the general counsel's office to understand what was the particular evidence that the IG had uncovered and how we could fit that into letters of admonishment and what kinds of disciplinary action we could take," Johnson replied, adding that "there's a due process here that we needed to follow."
In an interview with CNN before the hearing, Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, made it clear that Republicans believe "people did let the White House know, and the White House did not choose to intervene or to take action early on."
But Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., ranking Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee and a member of Mica's committee, pointed out that it was a Democratic appointee, Deputy GSA Administrator Susan Brita, "who brought this to light."
Neely and others implicated in the scandal "will be brought to justice and be made to pay back the money they owe the taxpayers," Cummings said in an interview with NBC News' Andrea Mitchell.
Mica said he and Denham were examining whether the GSA's culture of squandering could be purged or whether the agency — "our government's landlord" — should be replaced.
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat who represents the District of Columbia, disagreed with Denham and Mica, saying, "GSA serves an indispensable function."
That's what makes the investigation "such a difficult matter," said Norton, who was lampooned in a widely circulated video the GSA made at the conference.
In his opening statement, Peck said the Las Vegas conference was an "aberration" and that most conferences he attended weren't lavish. He said he paid for some food out of his pocket in Las Vegas.
Peck also offered a personal apology and said he wouldn't shirk responsibility.

- Buy Tech Mahindra shares on demand pickup and weak Indian rupee: JefferiesBSE Sensex surges 333 pts on value buying as Indian rupee rebounds, ICICI Bank shares jumpTop-level rejig at Infosys Ltd: Narayana Murthy relying on trusted aidesTCS bigger than Infy, HCL Tech, Wipro, Tech Mahindra put together
The pyramid at the top of the Indian IT sector has become very narrow. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is now not only the leader in the BSE charts but it has a market capitalisation that surpasses the aggregate of the four IT majors Infosys, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra making it a more valuable company than all of them combined. Last Wednesday for instance, amidst a revival in the US economy, falling rupee and volatile equity markets, while TCS closed with a market cap of Rs 4,04,352 crore, the aggregate market cap of Infosys, Wipro, HCL Tech and Tech Mahindra stood at Rs 4,02,020 crore.
However, in terms of revenue and profitability that is not the case. While TCS had a revenue and profit after tax of Rs 48,426 crore and Rs 12,786 crore respectively for the year ended March 2013, the aggregate revenue and PAT for the four companies stood at Rs 8,88,00 crore and Rs 19,122 crore which is significantly higher than TCS.
Share prices of all IT companies have surged significantly over the last four months since the rupee started its decline. TCS, however, has emerged as the biggest beneficiary at the stock markets among the five IT majors. Since May 2013, while TCS has witnessed a jump in its share prices by 48.8 per cent, Infosys and Wipro gained 37.7 and 39 per cent respectively. HCL Tech and Tech Mahindra too rose by 43.8 and 44 per cent respectively.
Industry experts say that the premium that market is giving to TCS is justified.
It is not just about rupee dollar movement but TCS has several factors working for it. It is getting a bigger share of revenue in big deals where several global players are involved, it is getting more long term projects and also its business is well spread across various regions of the world, said an IT expert who did not wish to be named as he works as a consultant with leading IT companies.
Market experts feel that even in a correction phase, TCS will perform better than the rest.
With the run TCS has had at the stock exchanges over the last four months, it has taken a significant lead in market capitalisation over Reliance Industries Limited which is the second largest company in terms of market capitalisation.

|This is the article on the summoned killer bees. If you are looking for the article on the character, head to Killer B.
Bees (蜂, Hachi) are bred and utilised exclusively by the Kamizuru clan as the focal point of their unique techniques. Unlike the kikaichū, the insects used by the Kamizuru's rival, the Aburame clan, the bees are summoned into battle. They are also capable of growing to large sizes, as seen with the Giant Bee. Their larva form have, like the Aburame's beetles, the ability to eat chakra.
The bees' usefulness centres around offensive capabilities of their stings, with attacks like the Thousand Bee Stings Technique. They are used frivolously in tactics where the bees' lives are sacrificed without concern for their survival; techniques like Jibachi's Bee Bomb Technique shows the bees being sent to attack with explosive tags attached to them.
- Despite their name, looking at them closely reveals that they are not bees, but rather Vespa mandarinia, the Asian giant hornet.
- As proof of this not only their appearance is similar but also when Shino held one of them on his hand, one can see it is far larger than a normal bee.

I really enjoyed this recipe! My BF is on a low carb diet so this is perfect -- I added 1 lb seasoned ground beef/chopped onion to the mix. I used Ragu 6 cheese for the marinara. YUM! It would also be good with a lean sausage.
Really good. I took another commenter's advice and brushed the eggplant slices with olive oil and broiled them for a few minutes before assembling the dish. I also added spinach and minced garlic. I didn't peel the eggplant it really wasnt required as long as you slice it thin.
Eating now and it is very yummy! I did change things however- I leached the eggplant w salt for 30 min beforehand and sliced it very thin. (I will be peeling it if I make it again though as the peel is just in the way) I added some bocca crumbles and canned Italian tomatoes. I don't like mushrooms so I left them out. I seasoned it with italian seasoning and garlic powder and it is full of flavor! I think this would be fantastic with some ziti or penne pasta to complete it :)
