Tigers Look To Get Back On Winning Track During 135th Playing Of Yale Game
There is nothing like playing one of your most historic rivals to help get rid of the taste from a disappointing loss.

The game will be shown live on the YES Network, and can be heard on WPRB 103.3 FM and GoPrincetonTigers.com.

Lights, Camera, Action
Princeton returns to a national television audience Saturday when it takes on historic rival Yale Saturday at 12. After games on ESPNU, the NBC Sports Network and ESPN3, the Tigers will make their 2012 debut on the YES Network (Chris Shearn and Jack Ford). This will be the fourth Princeton-Yale game shown on the YES Network since 2007; the Bulldogs have won two of the previous three.
We Meet Again
This will be the 135th meeting between Princeton and Yale, the longest series between any two Ivy League opponents and the second-longest active collegiate series in the nation (Lehigh and Lafayette have met 147 times).
Yale holds a 74-50-10 advantage in the all-time series, which dates back to a 3-0-0 Princeton victory on Nov. 18, 1873 in New Haven, Conn.
Bowled Over
Princeton has had little success in recent years at the Yale Bowl, though its one victory came at a most opportune time. Yale has won five of its last six home games against Princeton, including each of the last two, and holds a 27-20 all-time lead over the Tigers at the Yale Bowl.
Princeton's only victory at the Yale Bowl since the turn of the century came in 2006, when the Tigers rallied from a trio of 14-point deficits to record a 34-31 victory. Quarterback Jeff Terrell threw for 445 yards to move Princeton into a first-place tie with the Bulldogs, and both teams went on to share the Ivy League title.
In the other four games played most recently at the Yale Bowl (2002, 2004, 2008 and 2010), Princeton has combined to score a total of one touchdown, and it has averaged only 6.5 points per game.
Title Aspirations
While Princeton's losses over the last two weeks have left them in need of help to get back within the Ivy League race, the task is not impossible. If the Tigers win their remaining two games, they would finish with a 5-2 Ivy mark (after winning a total of four Ivy League games over the last three seasons).
The 5-2 record would clinch at least a share of second place with the loser of Saturday's
Penn-Harvard game. From there, Princeton would need either Harvard (home vs. Yale) or Penn (at Cornell) to lose during the final week of the season to earn a share of the title.
Half And Half
Simply winning over Yale Saturday would end a five-year skid of losing seasons for Princeton. After the 2006 Ivy League championship season, the Tigers went 4-6 over three straight seasons; they followed with back-to-back 1-9 seasons in 2010 and 2011.
Princeton has only had one streak of losing seasons longer than its current one (1941-1946).
Fired Up
Princeton has traditionally held a bonfire on Cannon Green, behind Nassau Hall, for the football team on seasons when it sweeps both Harvard and Yale; the last Princeton bonfire came in 2006, when the Tigers defeated both teams by three points apiece.
Princeton has swept Harvard and Yale 24 times, dating back to 1878. However, the Tigers' bonfire in 2006 was the only one held on Cannon Green in the last 18 years.
Junior wide receiver Roman Wilson has caught five touchdown passes this season, including four over the last three weeks. He has caught at least one touchdown pass in each of the last three games; the last Princeton player to record three straight games with at least one touchdown reception was Brendan Circle (2006).
Those are the only two Princeton receivers to record that feat in the last 17 seasons.
Front Yard
Roman Wilson, who caught the dramatic 36-yard touchdown pass in the final seconds to defeat Harvard three weeks ago, caught seven passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns at Cornell. He leads the Ivy League in yards per catch with a 19.0-yard average. The Princeton
single-season record for yards/catch is 20.2, set by Marc Ross in 1993.
Nine Lives
In the last nine quarters (the fourth against Harvard and the Cornell game), sophomore quarterback Connor Michelsen has completed 68 of 98 passes (69.3%) for 815 yards and six touchdowns. In the first 19 quarters of the season, Michelsen had thrown for only 693 yards, had a 54.1% completion percentage, and had not thrown a touchdown pass.
Michelsen was named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week after throwing for three touchdowns in Princeton's 29-point rally over Harvard in Week 6 for a 39-34 Tiger victory. Over the Crimson's last 17 games, that is the only one it didn't win by at least 10 points.
Double Trouble
Princeton has used a two-quarterback system throughout the season, and it has gotten strong play from both lately. Over the last three weeks, both Connor Michelsen and Quinn Epperly have thrown at least one touchdown pass in every game.
Michelsen has thrown six in the last three weeks, while Epperly has thrown for three and run for three more.
Spread It Around
Last weekend against Penn, 11 different Princeton receivers caught at least one pass. One week earlier, eight different receivers caught at least one pass.
We're Honored
Sophomore quarterback Connor Michelsen was named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week after leading Princeton to the comeback win over Harvard. Michelsen's honor gave Princeton at least one individual award per week for a span of four weeks. Anthony Gaffney has won two Rookie honors, while both Mike Catapano and Caraun Reid have won Defensive Player honors. Nolan Bieck has a Special Teams honor.
Princeton is one of two Ivy League schools to have won each individual award at least once; the other is Dartmouth.
Good And Bad
In Princeton's four wins this season, it is a +4 in turnover margin. In its four losses, the team is a -5.
Over the last two weeks, Princeton has struggled with turnovers in the fourth quarter. In both games, the Tigers turned the ball over on three of their final four possessions.
First Impressions
Over the last six games, Princeton has scored only two touchdowns in the first quarter. One came on a 93-yard kickoff return by Anthony Gaffney (Columbia), and the other came on a throwback run by left tackle Spencer Huston (Brown).
Tackling The Issue
Senior linebacker Andrew Starks ranks second in the Ivy League with 8.9 tackles per game, and he has ranked in the top five in tackles over each of his last two seasons. He made 15 tackles last weekend in the 28-21 loss to Penn.
The last Tiger player to lead the Ivy League in tackles was linebacker Steven Cody, who averaged 11.6 per game during the 2009 season.
Sack Exchange
Senior lineman Mike Catapano leads the Ivy League and ranks second in the FCS with 1.3 sacks per game. He trails only Brandon Thurmond of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, who is averaging 1.5 sacks per game.
Catapano has 10 sacks on the season, which is the most at Princeton since David Ferrara recorded 12.5 sacks during the 1998 season.
Conversion Chart
Getting off the field has been a key part of Princeton's success in its four victories this season. In Princeton wins, the defense has held its opponents to a 28.1 conversion percentage on third downs.
On the flip side, teams are converting at 47.1% on third downs in Princeton's four losses.
King For A Day
Senior Tim Kingsbury, a three-year starter at linebacker, had one of his most productive days against Penn. He set a career high with 15 tackles, including one for a loss.
Return To Sender
Freshman Anthony Gaffney is not only third in the league in both interceptions and passes defensed, but he also leads the league in kickoff returns. Gaffney averages 26.5 yards per kick return, and his 59-yard return in the fourth quarter against Harvard set up the first points in Princeton's 29-point 4th quarter.
Gaffney made quite the splash in his Ivy debut; he returned the opening kickoff at Columbia 94 yards for a touchdown. The Tigers were either tied or leading for the next 188:44 of game action.
Welcome Matt
Freshman Matt Arends has started four games opposite of Anthony Gaffney after Khamal Brown was lost for the season. In the last three, he has averaged seven tackles per game, and he has recorded at least one pass breakup over each of the four starts.
Bye-Bye Bhaya
Junior Phillip Bhaya moved from cornerback to safety in the offseason, and the move has paid off for the Tigers. He is tied for the team lead with three interceptions, and he had one last weekend to set up Princeton's first scoring drive.
Flag Football
Princeton is the least penalized team in the Ivy League, averaging only 37.1 penalty yards per game this season.
Head Of The Class
Senior Joe Cloud, a two-time All-Ivy League punter, has been named one of 147 national semifinalists for the 2012 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards. The 147 nominees also comprise the list of semifinalists for the 2012 William V. Campbell Trophy, which recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation.
Cloud is one of only three Ivy League players who were named among the semifinalists.
The Crystal Ball
Princeton will honor the Class of 2012 during its season finale Nov. 17, a 1 pm start against Dartmouth on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium.
This senior class, which has dealt with both a coaching change and life-threatening illnesses to a pair of All-Ivy running backs, has led the football team to four wins already this season; as a team, the Tigers won two the last two seasons combined.

"The World's End" by Edgar Wright is an incredibly highly anticipated film by pretty much everyone. Shaun and hot fuzz both garnered love and attention from critics and the general movie-going public alike, so what else would you expect people to expect from a film-maker so critically praised and yet humble? Well, we all wanted another one. Another one of those fun, fast, incredibly well-written pieces of film that both entertained us and gave us a feeling or two. Did this movie accomplish what shaun set up and hot fuzz seemed to bridge?
Well, coming from this very erratic and unconventional reviewer's opinion, it didn't. It didn't meet the majority expectation and was not what i thought i was going to get. This movie, at first glance is a movie about drinking, sci-fi, and action. its an odd, but granted choice seeing how his previous films focused on either more horror aspects or seriousness used for comedic effect. The movie is 5 friends revisiting their past and having the present fall hard on them. Its a movie where the ambiguity of the plot from trailer to trailer pulls you in and suckers consumers into paying money to see it. The thing is that i want to buy everyone a ticket immediately.
This film has everything in it. It is a constant array of clever jokes that are relevant to the plot, setting, and characters. the comedy is ingeniously intertwined with the character drama and the plot taking place. Its a story both small and large in size, and they focus both ends of that perfectly. The actual plot is just so thick and so philosophically challenging yet optimistic that it intellectually fuels you whilst you laugh and enjoy the fun film you are watching. Its really astounding how well it does this.
When addressing this movie, you have to comment on the action sequences. They are impeccably well executed, and though the characters are moving fast, you perfectly understand what is going on and what the motivations are. The bar fight in general is the best fight sequence i have ever seen caught on film. Edgar Wright shoots these sequences in very expertly choreographed manner, where the camera seems to dance around the action, much like black swan's performance scenes. Its really a spectacle to behold, and it truly deserves more respect for what it is accomplishing viscerally.
In the end, i could go on, and have, about every single aspect of this movie. It truly is a flawless film in every sense in my humble opinion, and i hope some of you see this and support the film as well. Its heart is heavy, its philosophy is strong, its action is gorgeous, its characters are realistic, its comedy is so fucking good it hurts at times, and its my new favorite film.

Frost Bitten!
THE PARTY Chateau Marmont hosted an intimate dinner under its colonnade celebrating the jewelry collaboration between Lulu Frost designer Lisa Salzer and author Lesley M.M. Blume, whose tome Let's Bring Back pays homage to three 20th century fashion icons: heiress Marchesa Luisa Casati, Jazz Age rebel Nancy Cunard and surrealist designer Elsa Schiaparelli. THE PLAYERS Lysa Heslov, Cassandra Grey, Minnie Mortimer, Cheryl Tiegs, Kendall Conrad, Claiborne Swanson Frank THE HIGHLIGHTS Hosts Heslov and a pregnant but glowing Swanson Frank gathered a cohort of gem-loving friends to toast the jewelry collab between bauble designer Salzer and author-hostess extraordinaire Blume. Inspired by the novelist's work, the Let's Bring Back collection features a trio of lines, each inspired by their respective sartorial socialites. Guests gushed over glittering jewels bedazzling the tablescape, while a Blume-produced pop quiz (along with copies of her books) at each place setting helped partygoers define their individual style. Whether drawn to Casati, Cunard or Schiaparelli, all left with a gift inspired by their muse. Photography courtesy of BFA

Rick Crawford confesses to aiding doping riders

Rick Crawford confesses to aiding doping riders
BOULDER, Colorado (VN) — Cycling coach Rick Crawford, an elite-level coach and collegiate cycling director, has admitted to doping two riders, one of which was Levi Leipheimer, between 1999 and 2001.
Former professional cyclist Scott Mercier is set to take the helm of the Colorado Mesa University cycling program after Crawford admitted his involvement in the doping activities to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Crawford will stay on as head coach at CMU.
"Rick came to us before he approached USADA. He was placed on temporary suspension while we conducted an internal investigation," said university president Tim Foster. "No drug-related infractions were found. In fact, Rick has been educating our student-athletes on the importance of clean, drug-free competition."

Another fine day for Colorado

Another fine day for Colorado Cycling. Durango's own Rick (Mr. central nervous system training)Crawford admits to doping two of his athletes.
Well gee whiz, isn't this the same Rick Crawford that convicted Colorado Dope Cheat Todd Robertson was trained by? You bet!
See this thread on 303. Too bad Ricky and Toddy removed the Q&A with Todd from the internet, but it talked about how Toddy trained with Crawford when he started making those huge improvements in this time trialing.
Isn't this the same Rick Crawford that trained convicted Colorado dope cheat Tom Danielson while he was a collegiate mountain bike racer at Ft. Lewis College. Hell yeah. He also trained Durango and Boulder's own Tommy D. when he was a young neo-pro tearing up the circuit.
Let's not even get into the Lance Armstrong stuff with Crawford . . .
All I can say is that this idiot Crawford has a WHOLE LOT more confessing to do. He tries to come off as all honorable by saying that the time was right for him to confess. Bullcrap! He was fingered by Leipheimer and probably by Papp. See Leipheimer's testimony from the Armstrong reasoned decision:
See statement number 24. Crawford is the (Other #7) person who Leipheimer testified sold him EPO in 1999, 2000 and 2001 while he was on the Saturn team. Now refresh my memory, was Danielson on that team and coached by Crawford too?
Sometimes I wonder where all these losers come from?

His connection to doping as been known for years. People connected the dots a long time ago. His confession is simply so he can sleep better.

I don't think that there is any doubt that Rick Crawford has been heavily involved in doping (both pros and amateurs) for quite some time. His "confession" is undoubtedly incomplete. Here is what long time racer Steve Tilford has to say about Crawford and his doping connections:
It is strange that Colorado Mesa University keeps him around and gives him a vote of confidence.
As for the Colorado Amateur racer, Todd Robertson, who was a client of Crawford and was sanctioned for EPO in 2011, that sure seems to be some pretty strong circumstantial evidence that Crawford is still involved with helping his clients push their physiological limits to the max.

Many people ask why I'm running the 2013 NYC ING Marathon.
My reasons are many. I'm over 50 years old and need help lowering my cholesterol. Losing weight, of course, is an added bonus. But what really ties it all together is the Marathon's motto, "Run for Life."
As a member of Couples for Christ Foundation for Family and Life (CFC FFL), I am committed to help strengthen families and fight for life.
I've run marathons in the past to support many causes. These include providing shoes for needy children, saving mangroves and raising awareness on the evils of drug abuse.
But I am particularly interested in helping people with their temporal needs; feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, providing children and the elderly with the support they need.
I have been active with evangelization work for the Catholic Church for nearly 25 years. I help run Christian Life seminars that assist participants in renewing our understanding of and God's call to us as Christians. Running for Catholic Charities whose mission is uphold the dignity of each person as made in the image of God by serving the basic needs of the poor, troubled, frail and oppressed of all religions, fits perfectly with my mission to evangelize.
It also fits just right with my urge to run in the NYC ING Marathon.

Hi all,
is there anybody out there, who needs nearly unlimited disk space for the NXT ?
My first idea was a hardware solution:
NXT-->RS485-->ATMegaMCU-->SPI-->SD-Card (up to 2 GB cheap flash space + DOS filesystem)
But this project is currently pending because due time...
Now I'm trying the following idea:
using filesystem from foreign devices (remote filesystem).
e.g. diskspace from notebooks or mobile devices running a small JAVA listener service.
The NXT should be able to connect to this devices via bluetooth, rs485 or I2C.
What we need is:
1. NXT part of the filesystem driver
2. PC part of the filsystem listener (like a fileservice)
3. common protocol specification (e.g remote_open(),remote_close(), remote_read(), remote_seek(), remote_write(),...)
Suggestions ?

When I was a child we had roast dinners on an almost weekly basis. Both my grandmothers would also make wonderful roasts. Like baking bread, they fill the house with a wonderful homely aroma. My mum still makes them frequently when I visit. So they are comfort and nostalgia to me. Her roasts are meat centred but she always makes sure there are lots of veggies for me.
She places large shallow metal trays filled with meat, potato and pumpkin in the oven to roast while she attends to her large garden. When the meat has been cooked and put on a clean plate, mum makes gravy in the roasting dish over a gas burner. I never eat her meaty gravy but I still like the ritual of stirring the bubbling liquid and watching it thicken and brown. She whips up cauliflower cheese sauce in the microwave with some rigorous stirring, and pours it over cooked cauliflower which goes in the oven. Lastly, she breaks open a bag of frozen peas and puts that in the microwave too. It all looks so effortless.
Mum says it is one of the easiest dinners for her to make. It takes me a little more energy – maybe because I am not practiced at them or because I usually make a nutroast rather than throwing a joint of meat in the oven. I find it takes hours but it is well worth it.
I hope my description of how central roast dinners were to my childhood will help you understand why I was so delighted to discover nutroasts. I was lucky enough to be made one by my then housemate, Yarrow, soon after I went vegetarian. As a person who never liked meat much, nutroast was a revelation that made me wonder why people eat meat when they can eat nutroast. It is truly the food of the gods!
My older vegetarian cookbooks (and particularly the British ones) all have nutroasts but I think it is old school vegetarian. It hails from the time when vegetarians were defensive and out to prove they were able to eat food as heavy and filling as meat. In our current health-conscious era, meat eaters want to eat meals as light as vegetarians. Ironic, isn't it? I guess it wasn't such fun being a vegetarian when less vegetables were available. So nutroast is yesterday's hero. But I am an old fashioned gal and still love it passionately. It is as substantial as any meat, it has the creaminess that I always loved in peanut butter, it has crisp edges as good as any pork crackling, it has all the dense yeastiness of good bread. And if I haven't convinced nutroast virgins to try it (and I mean home made, not the stuff you buy in a tin), then you might as well return to your meat or your mock meat or whatever you love. (For more information on nut roasts go here.)
Nutloaves are great – they can do a lot of things meat once did for me – but only better. The roast dinner needs a central dish - something that is substantial and strongly flavoured - nutroast is the perfect vegetarian dish. The roast I did on Saturday was nutroast, roast potatoes and pumpkin (from my childhood), cauliflower cheese (another dish my mother perfected), gravy and sprouts. I hated sprouts as a child but have come to appreciate them for winter warmth, and for signalling the depth of winter in the UK. Peas were the green food of choice for my mum's roasts but they have a spring in their step and a freshness that doesn't quite sit as well with a comforting midwinter meal as sprouts. We got out the nice serving dishes, poured some wine in the Waterford crystal and lit the candelabra so it felt like a special meal.
I'll give you a lengthy description of my roast dinner because it is so important to me. This is just a cosy chat about what I do rather than a stern recipe (except the nutloaf recipe which is a bit more dogmatic but even that can be changed hugely). Some of you can probably do this with your hands tied behind your back, but I am happy to swap tips. The menu was:
- Nutloaf with gravy
- Roast potatoes and pumpkin
- Cauliflower cheese
- Brussels sprouts
Serves 6
There are many nutloaf recipes but this is a good simple tasty one – I scribbled it in my recipe notebook 15 years ago and haven't a clue where it comes from but I have added a few more options than the recipe. It is great with cashews but other nuts are good too.
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp or 25 g butter
4 small mushrooms, chopped finely
1 tomato, chopped finely (or -4 tbsp tomato sauce or puree)
1½ tsp plain wholemeal flour
150ml vegetable stock
1½ tsp yeast extract eg vegemite or promite
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
150g ground nuts (the recipe says 100g cashew and 50g almond, I used 100g almond and 50g hazelnut)
100g breadcrumbs (recipe says fresh – about 4 pieces of bread - but I used stale which is about 1 cup)
1 egg
Seasoning to taste (I didn't use any)
Preheat oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a loaf tin. Melt butter in a medium large saucepan. Fry onion in butter til soft – about 5-10 minutes over low heat. Add mushrooms and tomato or tomato sauce. Fry another 2-4 minutes. Sprinkle flour in and stir 1 minute over heat. Add stock and cook over medium – high heat til mixture boils and thickens. Turn off the heat. Add remaining ingredients and stir til combined. Bake for 45-60 minutes. The recipe says to cover with foil for the first 45 minutes but I don't bother. You can tell it is done when it is firm to touch and crisped up on the top a little.
Now I have to rave about nutloaf again. It is wonderful in roasts but can be used in so many ways. I love having leftovers. I serve it sliced thinly on toast with tomato and cheese. I chop it into chunks and put it into spag bol or chilli non carne (instead of mince). You can cook the mixture as burgers or nutballs (to have with spag bol). And of course it can be heated and served with most vegetables and salad.
Because I usually don't have my mum's meaty gravy, it is a treat to make gravy. A lot of recipes seem to strain or puree the gravy but I like chunks of onion in it. So the way I make it is to fry up a chopped onion in a little oil or butter til they go brown. The I add flour (a spoon or two) and stir over low heat so the flour browns. Then I add some water, maybe some red wine or port, some soy sauce or promite (yeast extract). Taste to check seasoning. Bring to boil. Once it boils it should have thickened but if it hasn't, then just simmer til it thickens. It should be able to pour easily. I have a gravy boat I can serve it in – that always makes me happy!
Roast potatoes and pumpkin
The longer they roast the better, so get them on early. I used red skinned potatoes (desiree, red rascal, etc) and a wedge of pumpkin such as kent, jap, queensland blue. I chop up the potatoes (medium potatoes will make 2 – 4 pieces), put them in a saucepan with about an inch of water, cover and place them on medium to high heat. It will take about 5 minutes for them to come to the boil.
Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a large roasting dish in a hot oven (I usually use olive oil). You might need two dishes if you have lots of veggies. Then chop up the pumpkin. When the potatoes have come to the boil, drain them. Take the dish out of the oven and place the potatoes and pumpkin in it. I think the theory is that the oil seals rather than soaks in if it is hot. I sometimes put on cold oil but with time and patience, I think hot oil is better. The potatoes are a bit wet so might sizzle a little as the water and oil meet, but this is ok.
Both potatoes and pumpkin become so meltingly sweet and soft when roasted for a long time that they don't need any additional flavours other than some seasoning to taste. I don't even bother to peel the skin off – it tastes delicious and is nutritious too. Big chunks are better than small, provided you have time because the larger they are the longer they take to roast. Save the small chunks for when you are in a rush. Sprinkle some salt or pepper if you desire. I put in rosemary and garlic cloves on a whim on the weekend but neither are necessary.
Brush the oil over the veggies (I use a silicone brush). Place in a hot to very hot oven – I often go up to 230ºC but sometimes lower. I would recommend at least 2 hours. Actually you can get away with less but the longer they are in the more they crisp up on the outside and soften inside. Check every 20 – 40 minutes – give the pan a shake to loosen them from the tin, I usually just use a spoon and fork to turn them over but you can use an eggflip or spatula, and I try and make sure they are still covered with oil – this is usually taken care of by turning them but you may need to brush it on again. After a while, they dry out and crisp up so don't worry too much if the oil dries up. And don't worry about bits that stick to the bottom of the dish and float around getting really crisp – they are some of the best bits.
You can roast lots of different veggies – parsnip, carrot, turnip, corn on the cob, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, beetroot, garlic – the list is endless, although cooking times may vary. I chose to do potato and pumpkin for a traditional meal because that is what my mum always did.
Cauliflower cheese
In posh circles this is called Cauliflower Au Gratin but calling it Cauliflower Cheese is good enough where I come from. To make this as my mum makes it, I first put on cauliflower to boil, steam or microwave til tender (I boiled it for 15 minutes). Drain when cooked and set aside in a shallow casserole dish.
Then I make a cheese sauce. I often avoid making cheese sauce because it is heavy and likely to be either lumpy, too thin or too thick but it is wonderful comfort food. To make it I take a small or medium size saucepan and melt a couple of dessert spoons of butter or margarine. Add 2-3 dessert spoons of plain flour – the sauce should be quite thick (NB my sister, Susie, uses gluten free flour for her white sauce and it tastes fine). Stir the flour into butter and stir over low heat for a 1-3 minutes. This part (known as making a roux) is the bit I don't like but I have been told is important – it just seems to go greasy and be likely to stick to the pan.
Pour cheese sauce over the cauliflower. Sprinkle with grated tasty cheese and breadcrumbs to barely cover. Bake in moderate to hot oven about 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden (ie pop it in with the roasting veggies).
Brussels sprouts
I hated Brussels sprouts as a child, but thanks to Rose Elliot and my friend Yarrow, I now love them. He made them a few years ago, using Rose Elliot's method and I have been hooked ever since. The trick is not to overcook them. E even eats them quite happily (and it has been a Christmas tradition for his dad and him to complain about the sprouts). I never realised how important sprouts were in a British winter til I lived in Scotland – last time I visited I lived on sprouts!
Rose Elliot in Vegetarian Christmas suggests you trim the base and the outer leaves. Then cut the sprouts in half. Boil 4-5 minutes or til just done – they should be still bright green but tender (not grey-green and soggy). Drain and serve tossed with a little butter, salt and pepper. You wont look back!

Post subject: Where do you get your news?
Just curious but with so many options open, where does everyone get their news?
I can't stand talking heads and have very little time for TV, so I find myself getting it from the Internet. When I log on every morning it is all right there and I can pursue those stories that interest me. I get exactly what news I want when I want and don't have to wait for "weather on the 8's" or whatever. It also just feels more natural for me to read information and this is a nice way to do it without having papers stacked up in a corner waiting for recycling. I have a friend who keeps CNN on all day (I can't, it'd interfere with my reading
and thus gets her news as she goes about her daily chores.
So what about everyone else?

I get my news primarily from our morning newspaper. Sometimes I'll pop over to MSNBC on line to catch up on world news. I rarely watch TV, so that's probably the last place I would get news.
Good question, maggie. I'm sad because the "quickie" news TV headline and brief report has replaced reading the "whole" story. Not that the newspapers state the facts entirely true all the time; but I believe they care less these days, because fewer people read newspapers. Newspaper reporting was a class act at one time and had a good reputation. I don't think that's necessarily the way it is now. IMO only.

Post subject: News Sources
1) The Washington Post (daily) and The New York Times (Sunday only).
2) NPR during my morning and evening commute. I also like it when I leave at odd times for doctors' appointments or whatever and get to listen to Diane Rehm or Terri Gross.
3) Online, but rarely
One of the reasons I like a real newspaper is because as I scan the page I discover all sorts of stories I wouldn't otherwise read. Web versions are great for directed searches, but as I'm reading the hard copy paper, looking for stories about the economy or the weather or whatever, I then see stories about what's happening in Argentina (which I then read because my son lived there for six months) or Amtrak (which I read because I worked there years ago) or other things I hadn't thought to look for. I also wind up reading stories totally unrelated to anything I'd have thought I'd be interested in but which turn out to be fascinating. Online versions are great for when I want to read about a specific topic and possibly to go the links for additional information. So a lot depends on whether I want to be a hedgehog or a fox that day.
My husband sent me a link to an academic article that said that since the advent of the Internet and academic journals that now only appear in soft copies, that fewer articles are now referenced in journals and bibliographies are shorter. It used to be that a researcher would find something of interest as s/he looked for a specific article and might discover a whole new avenue of research. But now that people use the search engine to find what they are looking for, serendipity doesn't occur with as much frequency as it used to.

Post subject: Given up locally
Recently we gave up on the local Dallas newspaper and started subscribing to the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday NYTimes. We read them in their entirety during weekend visits to Starbucks. During the week I watch some CNN, some MSNBC, and read everything from Reuter's to the NYT to the BBC to the Washington Post, depending on what's up and what catches my fancy. I never watch network morning news shows anymore because there's basically no news on them - and don't watch them in the evening either. I used to also watch Keith Olbermann religiously, but he got too sexist for a while. Of course, he's not straight news, but I like his POV, and I watch him now about half the time, which I balance with the McLaughlin Group on Sunday mornings. And I read Time and Newsweek cover to cover, and occasionally U.S. News & World Report. Finally, I generally tune in to The Daily Show and Steven Colbert for a fun look at the excesses of news and politics.

I try to go for a mix, so on the radio I switch back and forth between NPR and the conservative talk station--especially amusing when they're covering the same story. I watch very little tv, so no network news, but try to catch Fox News Sunday and one other Sunday show while reading the NYT. Online, Democracy Now is my first choice, and I usually hit Drudge, Google Headlines, and sometimes Al Jazeera.

The radio as I go to and return from work, and lots and lots and lots of internet sites. I especially enjoy reading the English language editions of some of the international newspapers. I've given up on television.

Yes, I did.
On a tangent, did you see Wordplay, that documentary a few years ago about crosswords? Stewart is a crossword fanatic. I thought that was great.

I remember my mother doing the crossword puzzle in the Sunday New York Times every week. When I was a child we lived out west, so she had to have the paper mailed to her, and it didn't arrive until Thursday. These days, of course, you can get the paper on the same day pretty much wherever in the continental US you are. She also had books of crossword puzzles and seemed to always have one open on the dining room table. So when "Wordplay" came out, I took my sons because it reminded me of my mom. It's kind of hard to imagine a documentary about crossword puzzles being fun, but it was and we all enjoyed it.

Everything was well organized in advance, I had all the documents - but left home ... A few phone calls and all was well! The apartment was exactly as described, on the second day the water came from, but a large bottle of water was already at the arrival and we were also informed quickly when the waterworks would likely finish the repair. So a fine juicer like the house where I'm going to get me too! I, my daughter and my grandson are completely satisfied! It was the first but not the last time!
Alles war im Vorfeld gut organisiert, ich hatte alle Unterlagen - aber Zuhause gelassen ... Ein paar Telefonate und alles war gut! Die Wohnung war genau wie beschrieben, am zweiten Tag fiel das Wasser aus, aber eine große Wasserflasche stand bei der Anreise bereits und wir wurden auch schnell informiert, wann die Wasserwerke voraussichtlich mit der Reparatur fertig würden. So eine feine Saftpresse wie im Haus dort werde ich mir auch besorgen! Ich, meine Tochter und mein Enkel sind vollauf zufrieden! Es war das erste aber nicht das letzte Mal!
The flat was like it is showed in the pictures, very confortable and had the basic things you need for your stay. It is also close to a very beautiful cala.
To have a car is a must, since it is located in a little town outside of porto Cristo.
We found some welcoming orange juice, water and cookies, which I found nice and was very much appreciated.
We had an issue with the Wlan, I called the company and they tried to fix it as soon as possible.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Heat things that go bump in the night (video)
Did he or didn't he?
Did LeBron James send a message that he thought Erik Spoelstra wasn't shouldering his share of this season's burden, when he not-so-subtly bumped his coach during a third-quarter timeout during Saturday's 106-95 loss in Dallas?
It would be easy to dismiss, if it didn't seemingly happen once before, during James' tenure with the Cavaliers.
Neither party addressed the issue in the wake of Saturday's loss.
So you be the judge.
First, Saturday's incident:
Then this from a 2007 Cavaliers-Knicks game:

Sometimes something sounds so strange, you just have to try it. That's exactly what prompted me to try Sweet Vellies. My love of fruit jelly candy obviously far surpasses the name, as these are vegetable juices instead. Yes, you heard me, vegetables. So how else to test my love for a certain confection with a flavor assortment that's totally out of the box?
I found these on a recent venture into New York City at The Sweet Life down in the lower east side. I couldn't tell much from the very simplistic packaging they came in as they didn't list anything other then the name and ingredients. There wasn't even a flavor key! Still, I knew these would be something terribly unique and were worth a try. I even Googled them once I was back home and didn't find much information. I got a suggestion of flavors (Mint, Tomato Basil, Red Pepper, Strawberry Rhubarb, Beet, Corn, Lemon Verbena, Blueberry Sage, Carrot Ginger, Passion Fruit) but not that it helped me very much.
When I went to taste them a few days later, I couldn't even eat the one package as it molded right away. Phooey. A suggest shelf life would have been a nice addition to the packaging.
I noticed some differences right away. First, the texture is grainier than other pates that I've had, which I found very strange. I'm used to smooth, dense jelly but these felt as if some of the pulp of the vegetables were kept intact. It was strange at first, then I didn't mind it so much after a few bites.
Dark red: Very sweet, immediately fresh, juicy and tart. I think it's blueberries, raspberries and beets.
Green: Minty with sharp underlying tart notes that I can't really place. Maybe cucumber?
Light yellow/green: This one is hard to describe, as it tastes slightly sweet and starchy. I think this is corn.
Opaque yellow: Whoa, ok, no, that last one wasn't corn. This one is and it's awful. I immediately spit it out. It tastes like hardened creamed corn soup.
Orange: This one is easy to peg: tomato basil. It tastes of slightly sweet spaghetti sauce.
An interesting idea with horrible execution. It felt like playing Russian Roulette with the flavors and none of them tasted interesting to me at all. Keep the vegetables at the dinner table, ok?
Rating:Not Worth It

McElligott Recognized in Journal of Teaching Mathematics, Wins Award
Clare Bell, assistant professor at the UMKC School of Education and president of the Kansas City Area Teachers of Mathematics (KCATM) has published Sharing Beans With Friends. (Bell, C. V. Developing number sense with literature: Sharing beans with friends. Teaching Children Mathematics.) The paper discusses the value of using children's literature - and specifically, Bean Thirteen - as a basis for introducing complex math concepts, and provides a number of specific activities to accompany the book.
A math-based picture book Matthew McElligott wrote a couple of years ago has been used as the basis for a paper published in the November issue of the Journal of Teaching Mathematics.
McElligott's book, Even Monsters Need Haircuts, won the 2012-2013 "Prairie Bud" award, South Dakota's statewide children's literature award. Every year, a committee of educators and librarians select the books nominated for the awards, which are then voted on by schoolchildren throughout the state.

WDYT about Rhett Ambrose?
Hi nameberries!
I´ve found this combo that I love, but I worry that it sounds a little too girlish? Got any suggestions to make it more boyish?

Honestly, it looks like a mash up of two very different styles. Rhett feels dated and very 'American' whereas Ambrose is kind of classic eccentric. It doesn't sound girly to me as Rhett is all-boy IMO, but if you wanted to man-up and even out the styles, I'd suggest:
Rhett Christopher
Rhett Francis
Rhett Edward
Rhett William
Rhett Oliver
Rhett Lachlan
Rhett Bradley
Rhett Joshua
Rhett Jonathan
Rhys Ambrose
Robert Ambrose
Henry Ambrose
Luca Ambrose
Todd Ambrose
Rex Ambrose
Harry Ambrose

Rhett Ambrose sounds like such a romantic name to me! I love it! It doesn't sound girly to me, just maybe upperclass or sophisticated. I like it, its definitely different. I don't think you need to change it, but some of the ones charlieandperry1 suggested were good, like Rhett William. That is a classy name.Just another teenberry and writer, a lover of names

STANFORD, Calif. -- The Oregon Ducks wrapped up their stay at the U.S. Intercollegiate in a tie for ninth place after shooting 289 as a team on Saturday afternoon.
For the Ducks, it was their fifth-straight top-10 finish. Stanford shot 23-under as a team to capture the tournament title. TCU (-17) finished six strokes back in second. The Ducks went 14-over as a team.
Rak Cho (67-73-73=213) shot three-over for the tournament to lead the Ducks in a tie for 30th in the individual standings. Jonathan Woo followed Cho with a four-over performance (71-68-75=214), good enough for a 34th-place tie with teammate Ryann Ree.
Sulman Raza (+7) and Zach Foushee (+9) also competed for the Ducks and finished in a tie for 51st and a tie for 59th, respectively.
TCU's Paul Barjon (-11) captured the individual championship.

Rated 3 out of 5 by InTamarac Just okay Not as buttery as shortbread usually is and much sweeter than shortbread usually is. The caramel is just hard little chips and I won't buy this again. July 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by shoespaz trail mix cookies These cookies had chunks of what tasted like coconut or pineapple in them--tasted like Hawaiin Tropic smells! I was baffled, so looked at (very long) ingredient list, and turns out these contain pineapple pulp and apple. What an unpleasant surprise. Thankfully CPWM customer service is great and they're refunding me for all 3 boxes and shipping. August 8, 2013

Described as "electro-folk-acoustic-pop," Ellie's songs mix heartfelt emotion with other-worldly atmospherics, spinning electronica into dreamy warmth. She's also released a pack of "Starry Eyed" remixes by Penguin Prison featuring Theophilus London, Monsieur Adi, Jakwob, Russ Chimes, and AN21 and Max Vangel.

Camp Sunny Patch honor counselor Bernadette puts a cool twist on our Session 9 activity, Triathlon!
Hello there! I am Bernadette from Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas and right now at my house the Olympics have taken center stage. My girls (age 6 and 5) have been watching the Olympics for the first time this summer and they are really enjoying the swimming, gymnastics and bicycle races. I wanted to tap into the Olympic frenzy and set up a kid friendly triathlon inspired by the Camp Sunny Patch Triathlon during Session 9. You can download the printable directions here for the original version of this activity.
We tailored our triathlon to suit what the girls wanted to do – race each other in the pool, on bikes and finally on foot. So we grabbed our Melissa & Doug Spark Shark Kickboards and headed to the pool for Part 1 of our triathlon.
