Jonathan from TBD Imports very kindly sent me a new product to try recently – vanilla salt. I've been noticing different salts around lately and they intrigue me so Ant and I were really happy to try this. TBD's Singing Dog vanilla salt is a mixture of Murray River pink salt from Australia and organic ground vanilla from Indonesia.
The flavour of the vanilla salt on its own tastes … well, mainly salty, obviously enough, albeit a delicious salt. However, when this subtly flavoured salt is added to a sweet recipe, or sprinkled over caramel, peanut butter or chocolate, it tastes amazing and really helps the other flavours come through. Most of us know by now, how incredible salty/sweet tastes, particularly in desserts and this product creates a good balance between the two. Vanilla salt can be used with a variety of savoury or sweet dishes; popcorn, desserts, around the edge of cocktail glasses and sprinkled over corn cobs, just to name a few.
So I thought I'd think of a couple of recipes to show this product off, the first one being a caramel crunchy peanut butter sauce and it was lovely; creamy, with a subtle nutty texture and a salty/sweet flavour. Just a warning (and it's a lovely warning), on standing it becomes v. thick and fudgy in consistency. If you want to spoon some out of the pan and eat it that way I won't tell anybody. Oh and also! I poured the remainder into a square plastic container and levelled it with a knife, then froze for an hour or so, sliced it into soft caramel peanut fudge pieces sprinkled with vanilla salt which made my teeth ache and fingers sticky. Too.good.for.words.
The second recipe was a batch of chewy caramel cookies; these cookies were fudgy and salty/sweet with a sweet surprise of chocolate in the middle. Sandwich a scoop of vanilla bean gelato between a couple of these babies and you have a fancy, adult ice-cream sandwich.
Overkill? Oh yes, but soft and fudgy salty/sweet caramel cookies encasing creamy vanilla ice-cream = well worth it.
Thank you to Jonathan from TBD Imports for kindly sending me Singing Dog Vanilla Salt for review.
Recipe for salted caramel ice cream cookies:
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1/4 tspn mixed spice
1/4 tspn Singing Dog vanilla salt
1/2 tspn bicarbonate of soda
120g unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg (59g whole weight)
1 tspn vanilla essence
10 Rolo chocolate caramel squares
Vanilla bean gelato for filling
Preheat oven to 180C. Place baking paper onto a large baking sheet.
Sift the flour, spice, vanilla salt and bicarb of soda in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add butter and sugar to another large mixing bowl and use electric mixer to beat on medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes, or until lighter in colour and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla essence and beat on low speed until just combined. Use spatula to carefully fold through flour.
Spoon out heaped tablespoons of cookie mixture, flatten then wrap around each caramel into a flattish ball and place on baking sheet with 5cm between each one (they spread a lot). Sprinkle with extra vanilla salt and bake for 12 minutes, or until cooked around the edges and still soft in the middle.
Cool on tray for 8 minutes then transfer cookies to cooling rack. When cooled completely, sandwich a generous amount of gelato between two cookies to make up the sandwiches.
Makes: around 10
Recipe for caramel crunchy peanut butter fudge sauce:
30g unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tspn Singing Dog vanilla salt
1/2 tspn vanilla essence or extract
1/4 cup golden syrup
1/3 cup natural peanut butter (I used crunchy)
1/4 cup double or thickened cream
Ice cream to serve
Melt butter in a medium sized, heavy based saucepan over medium heat then add sugar, vanilla salt, vanilla extract and golden syrup. Simmer, stirring regularly for a few minutes until sugar is dissolved then add peanut butter and stir through until combined and creamy. Stir through cream and continue to simmer for a few minutes on lowish heat until thickened and creamy.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately over ice cream. Sprinkle sauce lightly with extra vanilla salt.
Best served straight away as it hardens on standing, particularly after chilling.
Makes: around a cup and a half
Note: if using peanut butter with added salt and sugar, you might need to adjust the amount of vanilla salt and sugar.

The Atlanta Opera presents The Italian Girl in Algiers with remaining performances on April 30, May 3 and 5 at the Cobb Energy Centre. The show literally opens up, like pop up picture book with the setting of the show in Algiers - a Northern African country next to Morocco with the look and feel of its neighboring country. The storyline is simple and clear from the beginning, the strong, military leader has a doting wife he has grown bored of and wishes for a feisty Italian girl as a new love interest. Then of course an Italian girl appears with her own mixed love interests of her own. She does stay quite true to her stereotype of being feisty and leaves this educational impression on the women of Algeria.
The Atlanta Opera cast is strong from leads to chorus. A simple, story from script to set let the audience enjoy a clear light heart storyline which is much appreciated when reading the American translation of an Italian opera.
Ticket prices range from $21.70 - $122.64 and can be purchased on the Atlanta Opera website or the Cobb Energy Centre box office.

A couple of entertainers from two Norwegian Cruise Lines teamed up with authorities in Bermuda to host a fund raiser for those impacted by Hurricane Fabian, which struck the island this summer. The event was inspired by Chad Brennan, an art director and singer on Norwegian Majesty, and Marcus Dagan, a singer and pianist on Norwegian Sea as a way, they said, to give something back. The event – held last week in St. George – featured dancing, comedy and music by NCL entertainers (both ships were in port in Bermuda) and by locals, including students from St. George's Preparatory School, who sang a rendition of "We Are The World." Admission was free of charge but there were numerous opportunities for locals to make donations.
All totaled, 4,000 people attended the four hour event – and $12,000 was raised.

oh yes. my little monolids have turned into quadruple lids. i had a friend go "uh, what the heck are monolids?" monolids are usually on asian people, when we don't have an eyelid crease, thus making them hooded.. and monolid, opposed to double eyelid. Mine tend to fold...too much when I'm tired or sick. I actually like my eyes better without the fold (which is horrifying news to my Korean relatives who have offered to pay for me to get double eyelids). So, on days like today I feel funny, my eyes all wide and round. haha!! give me my almonds back! I have been SO tired, and hungry at all times. Can't seem to sleep when I get a chance though.
The other day I was flipping through my Lucky Magazine (there's a Lucky Kids now by the way, and it's awesome possum). And I saw and advertisement for these little hand lotions. How cute! so of course I did some investigating and tracked some down. Here is a little review! have a good week everyone!

Pakistan's Media Raises Its Voice
Recent news out of Pakistan tells of a country at extremes ranging from a bloody siege at the Red Mosque to a growing democracy movement. A newly emboldened media is reporting more of the news than ever before, with a new level of scrutiny.
Journalist Fasi Zaka, who writes and broadcasts largely for an English-speaking audience, is emblematic of the nation's newly vibrant media. His targets have included political leaders and at least one radical cleric. He discusses the media explosion with Renee Montagne.

The performers really didn't need the microphones in such a small theater. I would have liked to have heard some of the singers really belt out some of the songs. Everyone was great except the kid who played Colin; he was really out of his depth singing. Nice staging and costumes. Other patrons really need to learn not to talk during the show.

The set was fabulous, as was the singing & the orchestra. The acting was first rate, except for Colin who was very hard to understand & sometimes the little girl, but much less frequently.

Great show! Voices were wonderful and the little girl who carried the show was exceptional. Our Goldstar seats were booked in the balcony but we were given Orchestra seats. I was pretty happy about that. One of the best shows Stoneham has done.

NEW YORK -- Back when Army football was a national power – and we are going way back – Yankee Stadium was as much a home field at which the Black Knights played as West Point. The first time was when the predominant names in the Bronx were Ruth and Gehrig. That was 1925, and Army defeated Notre Dame 27-0. Its last such game was last year, when Army lost to Rutgers 27-12. Its next game will be Nov. 8 against Connecticut. Thursday, new Army coach Jeff Monken and athletic director Boo Corrigan waxed borderline poetic about setting up shop on River Avenue and 164th Street.
As special a fall day at Michie Stadium is, there's no disputing that a game at Yankee Stadium gives Army a greater national profile, and, perhaps, a bit of a nudge in the recruiting process. Every little bit helps.
"I think you get to a stage like this where you get the chance to play a team like Connecticut and it brings us forward in a way that gives people the opportunity to be a part of this and touch and feel what we are and who we are," Corrigan said. "I think it gets us to a grander stage and really shortens the distance from where we are to New York City. People think of us as upstate, but we are 52 miles from where we were this morning when we left. We are excited about the opportunity."
This will be Army's 41st game at Yankee Stadium. The Black Knights split their first four games – all against Notre Dame – than won five of the next six games, including a 6-0 defeat of Navy in 1930. The Black Knights played two games in the Bronx in 1945, beating Michigan and the Fighting Irish by a collective score of 76-7. A year later, Army, then ranked No. 1, played No. 2 Notre Dame to a scoreless tie.
The 1945 and 1946 games featured Army's back-to-back Heisman Trophy winners, Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis. It was in 1959 that Army began to slide. Air Force had only fielded a team for two years, but it managed a 13-13 tie. The Black Knights defeated Syracuse 9-6 the following year; since, they've lost six straight, including two in a row in the new Yankee Stadium. Their lifetime Stadium record is 14-21-5.
Will such another game provide any additional pressure?
"I don't know that the venue adds pressure," Monken said. "I think playing the game itself against a great team like Connecticut, our players will recognize that they are a team that is a winning football team, been to bowl games, been to BCS bowl games, something that our guys haven't had the opportunity to be a part of. Just playing a team like UConn in a stadium like this is a great opportunity for those kids. The one thing that is unique about service academies is that our kids get to experience some great venues like NFL stadiums and the Army-Navy Game."
Army is scheduled to play another game at Yankee Stadium in 2015 against a still-to-be-determined opponent. One thing Thursday did provide was a chance for Monken to commit a coach's mortal sin. Not only did his discussion of the game come even before the beginning of spring practice, the Black Knights will play eight games next season until UConn appears on the schedule. He didn't seem uncomfortable doing so.
"This will be one of those games that they'll remember," he said. "The chance to play here will be really special, but I don't know if it puts more pressure on those guys. It will certainly make the game that much more special."
Will appearing at Yankee Stadium be Monken's career highlight? Army is the ninth college for which he's worked since beginning his career in 1989, and he seemed reluctant to offend anyone. What brought a smile to his face was recalling his boyhood summers at Wrigley Field.
"I grew up a Major League Baseball fan," he said. "I'm a Chicago kid, and I followed the Cubs. I have a great respect for the brand. When you see that brand on the front of a Yankees hat, you know what that means in terms of excellence and championships. We're excited as a football team for this season and the opportunity along the way to play against a great UConn team and what that will mean to our players, coaches and our fans to be able to be here in this stadium where we have such a history. We're looking forward to it and appreciate the opportunity."

"Tall?" "Literal?" There are a lot of potential ways to end our Fill in the Blank sentence when it comes to the Kate Spade Le Taxi Slingback Pumps, and none of them are particularly flattering.
I first encountered Spade's recent taxi theme in a smart little pointed-toe flat, and although it wasn't my cup of tea, I could see it being pulled off in a way that's both irreverent and stylish, similar to how people wear Charlotte Olympia's famed cat flats. In fact, there are a lot of similarities to Olympia's particular brand of tongue-in-cheek literalness going on at Kate Spade lately, which isn't entirely shocking. Olympia's aesthetic is wildly successful, and Spade is in a great position to capitalize on the sure demand for a similar angle at a more friendly price point.
It must be the shape, then, that's the problem. To carry a look like this, the shoe either has to be totally understated and let its embellishment steal the show or just as wild as the embellishment itself, a fact which Olympia employs to mostly decent results. This shape, with its high heel and wide-open toe, is in the middle of the spectrum, though, and the embellishment is pulled back a bit, compared to the flat version. If you're going to go this literal, you have to go all the way, and then you have to design around that decision. This shoe doesn't quite get there. Play our weekly game in the comments below or pick up a pair of these shoes for $550 via Neiman Marcus.

Is there a way to deal with silly interview questions? Probably, but some of those silly questions are just designed to throw you off and see if you can think on your feet.
I am not a big fan of what I call; The Games of Interviewing, but unfortunately some of the companies that you will be interviewing with are big fans. I tend to be more interested in the candidate and what they can do, not throw silly questions out to see how you respond, but that's just me.
So what is the purpose of these silly questions? What I have been told is it's designed to see if the candidates can think on their feet when they're asked a question that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand. Confusing? Yes. Interesting? No. Can this tell you about a candidate? No.
Let me give you some examples of what I am talking about. If you're in the medical field interviewing for a medical position the interviewer might ask you, "Why do elephants have tusks?" or "When was the last time you went to the circus?" or my all time favorite, "Tell me a funny story about yourself" Yikes!
The companies that do these types of interviews will tell you there really isn't a wrong answer. Wrong! That's what they say, but it's not true! Believe me, they paid a lot of money for these tests and questionnaires and (according to them) there is a right way and wrong way to answer these silly questions.
It is impossible to give you answers to every possible silly question you might receive in an interview, right? And the company just wants to see if you can think on your feet anyway, so how do you respond to odd questions? How fast can you come back with an answer? How do you deal with adversity? If you don't know, what should you do?
My recommendation is to practice with someone in your family. Have this family member ask you typical questions like, "Tell me about yourself?" or "What are your greatest strengths?" etc., then have this family member throw you some curve balls by throwing in some silly questions, but make sure they don't tell you ahead of time what those silly questions will be. Practicing this will help you think on your feet.
The games of interviewing will always be there because companies have been burned so many times with bad hires. Companies will try just about anything if they think it will help them find the perfect candidate. Don't take this lightly! If you do not answer these silly questions the "right way" you will not get the position. So practice, practice, and practice! I hope this helps.
Good luck to you!

Fly Fishing New Brunswick
Enjoying fly fishing New Brunswick Canada for Atlantic salmon, brook trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel.
Well my blog was more about fly fishing in the beginning but a heart attack in 2004 kind took that away from me. Now I spend most of my time using a spinning rod. I still love and enjoy fishing but would love to get back to fly fishing. Hoping 2013 will be the year of the fly rod for me.
I get to go fishing with friends, Jamie and Casey. We have a lot of fun.

text: Beaver XC at Pac-12 Championships Saturday Photo By: Stoddard Reynolds 10-31-2013 Related Links Women's 6K Course Map Championship Central CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State women's cross country team will head to elevation for the 28th Pac-12 Championships this Saturday, Nov. 2. The women's 6K portion of the annual event, hosted by Colorado at Coal Creek Golf Course in Louisville, Colo., will begin at 11:40 a.m. MT (10:40 a.m. PT). Fans can follow the race live on the Pac-12's Cross Country Championships website, which will have previews, as well as real-time coverage on the day of the Championships, including live stats as well as Twitter and Facebook updates. At the conclusion of the race, official results and recaps will be posted on the championships page. The championships will also be televised by the Pac-12 Networks on a tape-delayed basis. The first airing is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 4 at 6:30 p.m. PT. Dwight Stones will serve as the analyst, while Jim Watson will provide play-by-play. Another challenging morning waits for all of the schools in Colorado on Saturday. Half of the Pac-12 field is ranked in the USTFCCCA national poll. Oregon State currently comes in at 15th in the West Region. Traveling one of its deeper squads to the conference meet, Oregon State will be represented on the starting line by freshman Holly Cavalluzzo, sophomore Adrienne Demaree, junior Kinsey Gomez, seniors Sandra Martinez and Chelsa McDonnell, sophomore Aly Nielson, senior Taylor Nowlin, junior Kelsi Schaer and freshmen Emily Weber and Kristiane Width. Gomez has been Oregon State's top finisher in the three meets she has run thus far in 2013. At the Bronco Invite in Sunnyvale, Calif. on Oct. 19, the Idaho native broke the 6K school record by more than 20 seconds when she crossed the line in 20:31.4. As a sophomore last season, she finished 86th at the conference championships (22:42.46), just outside OSU's scorers, but rebounded to lead the Beavers at the NCAA West Regional with a time of 21:08.53 (61st). At the Pac-12 Championships in 2011, the then-freshman Gomez came in fourth for Oregon State and 63rd overall after finishing in 21:43. The elder stateswoman of Oregon State's entries on Saturday will be fifth-year senior Sandra Martinez, who was the Beavers' top finisher at last year's championships when she ran 21:52.09 (52nd). This will be Martinez's fourth and final run at the Pac-12 Championships. In 2010 she finished 42nd (21:16.38) and in 2009, 51st (21:35.19). This season, she posted her best 6K time at the Bronco Invite, running 21:15.8 to come in 26th overall and third for OSU. Oregon State will be provided a boost with the addition of three stellar freshmen to this year's conference championships roster in Emily Weber, Holly Cavalluzzo and Kristiane Width. Weber redshirted last cross country season, but was one of OSU's top 1,500m and 5,000m performers during the outdoor track and field season. She PR'd in all but one race during that campaign and is seventh on OSU's all-time list in the 1,500m after running 4:29.46 at the OSU High Performance Meet on April 26. Cavalluzzo and Width, a pair of distance standouts from New York, have made a splash during their first few months on Oregon State's campus. Cavalluzzo has been in OSU's top four in each of her four races this season. Her time of 21:15 at the 6K Sundodger Invite on Sept. 14 is eighth all-time in school history at that distance. Width has also been in the Beavers' top five in each of her four meets in 2013. She posted her best 6K time in her most recent outing at the Bronco Invite, running 21:34.5, which is 16th on OSU's all-time list. Interestingly enough, an accomplished soccer player while at United Nations International School, Width had not run a cross country race prior to her collegiate debut at the Portland State Viking Classic in early September. Sophomores Adrienne Demaree and Aly Nielson will round out Oregon State's underclassmen on the line at the Pac-12 Championships. Demaree ran at both last year's conference meet (90th; 23:00.18) and West Regional (139th; 22:12.58) and worked her way into OSU's lineup on Saturday with a 14th-place finish at the Beaver Classic on Oct. 25 (6K - 22:31). Nielson, who redshirted last fall, will be making a return to the Pac-12 meet after running 22:59 in 2011 to finish 100th. She's competed three times in 2013 and had her best showing at the Bronco Invite, where she ran 21:13.8. Junior Kelsi Schaer will be making her third appearance at the Pac-12 Championships and had her best result last season when she ran 23:24.42. After transferring from New Mexico State, Chelsa McDonnell will be making her Pac-12 Championships debut for Oregon State on Saturday. Taylor Nowlin was OSU's third finisher at the Pac-12 Championships in 2012, coming in 73rd (22:26). Oregon State came in 11th place in last year's Pac-12 Championships in Southern California and has finished as high as sixth (2008) since the program was reinstated in 2004. The women's 6k race on Saturday consists of two-2k loops and two-1k loops. The course consists of rolling fairways, no elevation gain, and several sharp turns.

Kacie (left) and Kristi (right) Oshiro
April 30, 2014
By Tyler Wallace
Four thousand, eight hundred fifty nine miles is the distance between Mililani, Hawai'i and Greenville, North Carolina. Why is that relevant? For the East Carolina softball program, two players from the same city, the same high school and the same household have traveled that distance and made ECU a temporary home away from home.
Senior second baseman Kristi Oshiro and freshman outfielder Kacie Oshiro grew up sharing something that has strengthened their relationship as sisters and teammates: softball.
"Growing up we were very fortunate to come from a tight-knit family, but we were never very close," said Kristi. "I think playing on the same team in high school really brought us together and closer then ever. Since then, we've done a lot of things together over breaks and holidays and our relationship has only grown stronger over the years."
Kacie saw Kristi in a different light growing up.
"When we were little she would always be like a second mom and always take care of me so it's like I'd look up to her," Kacie said.
Kristi is a name ECU softball followers have heard a lot over the last four years, and Kacie is a name some have seen glimpses of, but will begin to see more and more.
The two grew doing what normal sisters do in a place like Hawai'i, but both have the unique and amazing talent of playing softball.
Kristi was the talk of Mililani during her time on the Island as a four-time All-Hawai'i High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) First Team selection at second base and was able to catch the eye of East Carolina University. Kacie was just a young freshman in high school when Kristi committed to ECU, but went on to make a splash of her own by being named All-HHSAA First Team during each of her four years at Mililani High School.
When it was time for the young Kacie to make her choice getting off the island, becoming a Pirate alongside her sister was the choice she made. Many understand that making the transition to a new school is difficult, but Kacie was lucky to have had her sister already experience the ups and downs of the cross-country move.
"I think it is really helpful just because we are so far away from home and we only get to see our family twice a year," Kacie said. "It really helps with the transition and it is really easy to have someone be there all the time. I see her every day at practice, so it has really helped with the homesickness. I really don't get homesick and I think that's why."
Kristi knows that helping her sister transition into the new surroundings is something necessary, but also believes that Kacie has to experience the up and downs on her own.
"I like to think I have been able to help her with the transition to college," Kristi said. "Being here for the past four years has taught me so much and I was fortunate enough to be able to share some of these things with her. It's a flaw of mine that I always want to do everything and anything for her, but this year, I had to know when to give her space and allow her to do things on her own which she has been able to do and I am so proud of her for it."
When onlookers observe the two players, they might notice something similar between the two other than their last name. They might find that their swings in the batter's box look the same.
"I feel like for me, I look at her because we do have really similar swings, so if there is something wrong with mine, I can look at hers to see what I'm doing wrong," Kacie said. "We really didn't have the same swing until I got into high school. I was swinging a completely different way and then I got into it and it really works."
Kristi knows that the two have similar swings, but she also has the utmost confidence in her little sister.
"She has come such a long way and I am so glad I was able to share part of it with her," Kristi said. "The funny thing is that I have so much faith and confidence in her, even more than I think she has in herself, but I still get these nervous, excited butterflies every time she goes up to bat or is in the game because I want her to do well so badly. All the girls (on the team) will tell you I'm like a crazy mom in the dugout every time. It has been so much fun this season being able to be there with her through the good, the bad, the struggles and everything in between."
With Kristi's senior campaign coming to a close, one of the highlights of the season for Kristi will be playing with her sister.
"Having Kacie on the team has absolutely been a blessing," Kristi said. "Playing with her in high school was what I thought was the highlight of my softball career, but having the opportunity to play with her again in college at the Division I level has honestly been a dream come true."
Kacie shares the same love and pride being able to play with her sister for one last season.
"I am really happy I got the opportunity to play with her again," Kacie said. "The last time I got to play with her was in high school and that was three or four years ago so that was really great. She is just a good person to look up to."
When the Pirates' 2014 season ends and Kristi graduates in May with a degree in sports studies and a minor in psychology, Kacie will find herself as the only Oshiro remaining on the East Carolina softball roster. For the time being, Kristi and Kacie will enjoy every minute of time with each other sporting the same uniform and sitting side-by-side in the dugout.

FOXBORO — For a team that had turned in standout performances over the better part of the last month, it was not the Patriots' finest hour.
On Sunday night, the Patriots slogged through their game against the Packers. They committed seven penalties, yielded 369 net yards to an offense led by a quarterback making his first NFL start, and couldn't get the defense off the field on third down. At times, the New England offense was sloppy and inefficient, bogged down by lack of execution. Green Bay held a 41-19 edge in time of possession, and the Patriots offense, which looked world class over the last month against some of the best defenses the league had to offer, put up a rather ordinary 24 points — and seven of those were thanks to near-perfect field position given to them on a kick return from a 313-pound offensive lineman.
But the Patriots won. It wasn't perfect, but they won. Despite the fact they were gashed by the Green Bay running game to the tune of 143 rushing yards and allowed a quarterback who was making his first pro start to throw for 251 yards, they found a way. It wasn't easy, and took until the very last play from scrimmage when Tully Banta-Cain sacked Matt Flynn as time ran out. Then, and only then, were the Patriots allowed to celebrate a 31-27 win over the Packers (click here for the complete recap) that allowed them to take another step toward home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
This time, instead of the postgame celebrating that had been so commonplace over the previous month, it was more of a sense of palpable relief that the Pats had escaped with a win when they were less than their best.
"I think you have to give the players a lot of credit today for playing 60 minutes, fighting through some adversity and coming out with a win, and in the end, making enough plays to win," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "It certainly wasn't one of our better games."
The game was completely unique in the annals of the 2010 Patriots — they managed to win after playing poorly for most of the evening. But despite all the setbacks, New England overcame a 10-point second-quarter deficit and a 27-21 disadvantage in the fourth quarter because they did enough when it counted, particularly in the fourth quarter when the Patriots held the Packers to three points on a pair of Green Bay visits inside the New England 20.
And after seeing the field for just three plays in the third quarter, quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots offense managed 10 fourth-quarter points, including a 10-yard touchdown pass from Brady to rookie tight end Aaron Hernandez that gave New England a lead it wouldn't relinquish with 7:14 left in regulation.
In the end for the Patriots, their play down the stretch was enough to wipe away three mostly forgettable quarters.
"That's what we said on the sideline: 'We've played bad for three quarters, but champions find a way to pull it out at the end,'" veteran safety James Sanders said. "We just made enough plays at the end to win the game. We were fortunate to come away with the win."
"This game wasn't perfect [but], at the end of the day, W's are what count," defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said. "Good teams find a way to win, especially in December."
Here are nine other things we learned Sunday night at Gillette Stadium:
The Packers opened the game with a surprise onsides kick, which allowed them to take possession and eventually get on the board first when Crosby delivered a 31-yard field goal to make it 3-0 midway with 8:45 left in the first quarter. Crosby was at the center of the action again at the end of the first half when he pooched it short to New England offensive lineman Dan Connolly … who proceeded to deliver the unlikeliest 71-yard return in franchise history, setting the Patriots up nicely for their second touchdown of the night, a 2-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Hernandez.
Sanders, who was one of the players closest to the ball when Crosby dribbled it short to start the game, said the Patriots "were alerted for the onsides," but simply failed to make the play.
"We knew they had a good special teams unit who were known for doing certain things. We just didn't execute," Sanders said. "We didn't make the play. It hurt the team early in the game. I have to learn from that and make sure I don't make that same mistake again."
As for Connolly's return, the site of the offensive lineman chugging downfield with the ball put a charge into the Gillette Stadium crowd. He was hit a few times, but the big lineman refused to go down, eventually running out of gas at the Packers' 4-yard line, taken down by Green Bay's Robert Francois.
"Yeah, everybody was out their seats once we realized that he was about to score," Banta-Cain said. "He was like Gale Sayers out there — a much bigger version."
"I tell you what — Dan Connolly right now probably has the greatest return average in the National Football League," left tackle Matt Light said of his fellow lineman, who suffered a head injury later in the game and did not return. "That was incredible. It was a heck of an effort. I couldn't believe I was watching it, to be honest with you."
To Belichick, it wasn't a surprise to see Connolly come away with the ball — the Packers had been kicking short all night.
"It kind of looked like he was looking to go down, but then they just couldn't really find anybody to tackle him," Belichick said. "It was a good job by the kickoff team. They short-kicked us all day, really, with the pooch kicks and the squib kick there. We've been working on those, so it was an alert play by Dan, but also by the blocking to get in front of him there and at least get him started."
The Packers clearly tried their best to keep the New England offense off the field, as Flynn put together two scoring drives of 11 plays and another two scoring drives of 13 plays, with three of those four scoring drives consuming more than six minutes each. Green Bay did it in no small part thanks to Flynn's game-management skills, as well as their commitment to running the football.
It worked — at one point early in fourth quarter, the Patriots had just 30 offensive snaps (including penalties). As a result, Green Bay had complete command when it came to time of possession, coming away with a 41-19 edge. (According to the Patriots, no team in the NFL this year has had worse numbers when it's come to time of possession and won.)
New England had just one offensive series in the second half by the time it got the ball with 13:44 left in the game. While New England's offensive players acknowledged it was difficult to get into a rhythm because of a lack of playing time, many of them added that they did it to themselves, blaming a lack of execution.
"It's hard to get into a rhythm. I wish we as an offense could have stayed out there to get in a rhythm. Part of us not being on the field was our lack of execution. We need to go out there and execute better," Brady said. "I'm sure we lost the time of possession. I'm sure we lost field position. I don't think we were great on third down by any stretch. It was really not a great offensive effort. The defense and special teams made some huge plays for us. That's what we needed [tonight]."
"It's difficult, but you have to try and do the best you can under the situation and circumstances," said Green-Ellis. "We came out with the W, which is the most important thing. We wish we would have played a whole lot better tonight."
The quarterback somehow managed to keep his interception-free streak alive, despite the fact that he had at least two near-picks on the night, with Green Bay's Charles Woodson and Sam Shields nearly coming away with interceptions that were simply dropped. Including the three that were almost picked off last week in Chicago against the Bears, that makes five near-misses he's had over the last two weeks — all catchable passes that could have been picks if the defenders had simply kept their hands on the ball.
Instead, the quarterback was able to extend his interception-free streak to 292 pass attempts, setting an NFL record for the longest single-season stretch without an interception. (It still falls short of the all-time record of 308 pass attempts without an interception, a mark that Bernie Kosar set that he started at the end of the 1990 season and ended early in the 1991 season.)
Sunday also marked a new record for Brady, who became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw at least two touchdowns without an interception in seven consecutive games. Brady passed Don Meredith's previous record of six straight games with two or more touchdowns and no interceptions (1965-66). In addition, his two-yard touchdown pass to Hernandez in the second quarter allowed him to reach 30 touchdowns for the second time in his career — he becomes one of just 12 NFL players since the 1970 merger to have at least two 30 touchdown seasons.
Brady ended up going 15-for-24 for 163 yards and two touchdowns and zero interceptions — statistically, one of his worst performances of the season. But with the game in the balance, he came through, finding Hernandez for his second touchdown of the night.
"We've got Tom Brady — he is going to find a way to get the offense going and we just need to follow his lead," said Hernandez, who had a team-high four catches for 31 yards and a pair of touchdowns, the second two-TD game of his career. "We have to make plays when the chances are there and the opportunities come. We finished this game — it was a tough one. There were bumps in the road and we have got to overcome the bumps like we did today and just keep fighting."
The prevailing thought before the game was that the Patriots had caught a break by avoiding Aaron Rodgers — one of the best young quarterbacks in the game was sidelined with the aftereffects of concussion he suffered last week in a loss to the Lions in Detroit. In his place, it was Flynn, a youngster out of LSU making his first professional start.
The only problem was that Flynn wasn't cowed by the prospect of facing an improving New England defense on a big stage. He was poised and deliberate, and managed to make more than his share of plays throughout the evening. He helped put together five scoring drives, and ended up going 24-for-37 for 251 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
"He was being really smart tonight. He didn't force anything," Sanders said. "When things were covered and nothing was open downfield he used his check downs. He made us works for 60 minutes – running the boots, couple scrambles here and there. Like I said, he had us scrambling in the first half."
However, the Patriots defense came up big with three important red-zone stops. The first key sequence came on Green Bay's first series of the night when the Packers were able to get down to the New England 8-yard line, but New England managed to hold them to a field goal. The second came at the start of the fourth, when the Packers had a second-and-goal from the Patriots' one, but New England again held them to three. And with time running out and Green Bay perched at the Patriots' 15-yard line with a fourth-and-1, the sack from Banta-Cain (which forced a fumble that was recovered by Wilfork) allowed New England to close out the game.
"This is what we're paid to do — you've got to dig deep in these type of games," Banta-Cain said. "When it comes down to it, somebody has to make a play and I just happened to be that guy today."
In the end, it was three important red-zone trips for the Packers (for a touchdown conversion rate of just 40 percent on the day) and only six points to show for it.
"I think we showed mental toughness on both sides of the ball today," said linebacker Jerod Mayo. "Green Bay came out and played a tough game. With our backs against the wall, we came out and made plays."
When training camp opened, it was believed that the bulk of the work in the New England running game would go to either veteran Fred Taylor or Laurence Maroney, with an occasion contribution from the likes of Kevin Faulk and Sammy Morris. BenJarvus Green-Ellis was seen as little more than a complementary back, a luxury item that could provide some depth. Danny Woodhead? He was a spare part about to be cast off by the Jets.
But Taylor has battled injury most of the season, Maroney is wasting away on the bench in Denver, Faulk is on the shelf with a knee injury and Morris has evolved into a fullback. Meanwhile, the combination of Woodhead and BenJarvus Green-Ellis — two backs who could have been picked up by anyone — have been the heart of the New England running game, and both had another strong outing Sunday night against Green Bay.
Woodhead sparked the offense in the second half with a solid effort down the stretch, and ended up running for 59 yards on nine carries and adding a catch for 12 yards. Despite the fact that the Patriots offense was sluggish and inefficient at times, the Chadron State product said the important thing at the end of the day is victory.
"We ended up picking up the win and that's the most important thing. Things didn't go the way we would have liked them, to but we got the win and we are happy with a win," said Woodhead. "Anytime you work during the week and show up on Sunday you want to make sure you get the win. That is the ultimate goal. Obviously, it wasn't the prettiest game, but we ended up getting it done."
In addition, Green-Ellis had six carries for 38 yards and another touchdown, a career-best 33-yarder where he picked up some absolutely crushing blocks from Logan Mankins and Deion Branch on the way to the end zone. For Green-Ellis, it was his 12th rushing touchdown of the season, which ties him for the third-highest rushing touchdown total by a Patriots player. The first undrafted rookie to score 10 or more rushing touchdowns in a season for the Patriots, Green-Ellis is the eighth player in team history to record double digit rushing touchdowns in a season.
In addition, he edged closer to the 1,000-yard mark — with two games left, he has 824 rushing yards, and still remains a viable threat to become the first New England running back since Corey Dillon hit 1,635 yards in 2004.
"Our offensive line did a good job blocking and also the receivers did a good job of blocking downfield, and it helps put points on the board," Green-Ellis said, who adds that he's not thinking about the possibility of becoming a 1,000-yard back.
"The only thing I think about is going out and preparing myself the best I can to help my team win."
The Green Bay defensive coordinator, who spent a year in New England as a special assistant/secondary coach, clearly picked up a few things about beating the Patriots while he was in Foxboro for the 2008 season. The Packers were able to generate good heat on Brady and the rest of the New England offense — the Patriots quarterback was sacked three times, tied for the second-most sacks he'd taken all year long. As a result, it was a rough game for the New England offensive line.
Brady was sacked twice by former Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji (which sparked the Green Bay owners' box to break out into a spontaneous rendition of the Boston College fight song) and once on a savage hit from Desmond Bishop. In the end, the Packers were able to do something the Steelers, Jets and Bears were unable to do — hold the New England offense under 35 points.
"They made it tough on us," Brady said. "It's a damn good defense, real good secondary, [a] good defensive front. They gave us all we could handle tonight, so you give them a lot of credit. They're very well coached. They play from the opening kickoff to the last play of the game. It took all 60 minutes. When we needed it, we made the plays. I'm glad we won."
For his part, Bishop shrugged after the game when he was asked what he thought of the New England offense.
"Nobody's invincible. They're good. They're one of the best, if not the best. But nobody is invincible," said Bishop, who led Green Bay with seven tackles on the night. "I was watching on film and I thought, 'Maybe they're superhuman' But they're regular. They do what they do very efficiently. They do what they do the best. That's who they are. But they're not super-human, that's for sure."
A) Linebacker Dane Fletcher picked up a key late sack just before Banta-Cain's game-ender, drilling Flynn for an 8-yard loss with just over a minute to go. A rookie free agent who signed this past spring, Fletcher has started to see more and more playing time as of late, especially in the wake of the recent four-game suspension of inside linebacker Brandon Spikes.
"The tackle went down on our end and the guard came out to get me. I got a good jump on their count and made a play, I guess," he said when asked about his sack, one of five the Patriots had on Flynn. "I understand how big of a play that was, but I don't let it go to my head and come back to work this coming week. On to the next one I guess. It's sad to say that already, but I guess that's how you've got to think."
B) Kyle Arrington had a 36-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter, a bruising sequence where he bounced off four would-be tacklers and busted into the end zone with just over 12 minutes left in the third quarter, a play that gave the Patriots their first lead of the evening.
"[My] first career pick and that close to the end zone, so I just said I'm going to let my feet do the rest," said Arrington, who ended up with four tackles and two passes defensed on the night. "I just tried to keep them alive and keep them moving and fortunately I got in there."
C) Devin McCourty didn't come away with an interception — the first game since Nov. 14 when he didn't force some sort of turnover — but he did get his first career sack in the fourth quarter when he dropped Flynn for a 4-yard loss. He also had a couple of key tackles, including a stop of Green Bay running back John Kuhn in the fourth quarter on the New England goal line that forced a Green Bay field goal. In the end, he had 10 tackles, including two for a loss, as well as a pass defensed. But he didn't sound all that enthused about the numbers after the game.
"We had some ups and some downs," said McCourty, who is still tied for second in the NFL with six interceptions. "I think the key is like always [with] two minutes to go in the game, you're on that field and you've got to find a way to get the win, and that's what we did today. So I think that's big as a defense, making sure we get that win and finish."
For a New England team that prides itself on playing smart, disciplined football, Sunday night's game was out of character. The Patriots entered the game as the fourth-least penalized team in the league (when it came to accepted penalties) and had committed just 11 penalties in the four games prior to Sunday night. The fact that they had started to cut way down on penalties was a big reason they were having the level of success that they did.
But against the Packers, they finished with seven penalties for 52 yards, including several bad flags. (In contrast, Green Bay was assessed just two penalties for 15 yards.) There was a hands to the face call late in the game against Banta-Cain that kept a Green Bay drive alive, a defensive offside call on Wilfork that was the first flag of the year on the veteran defensive lineman, as well as an unnecessary roughness call on McCourty which was the right call at the time — but the flag came a long time after the play was blown dead.
After the game, Belichick took a small swipe at Hochuli, saying his crew has a reputation for letting its freak flag fly.
"We had a lot of penalties," Belichick acknowledged. "Look, these guys call the most penalties of any crew in the league and they called them. We knew it was going to be a tight game and it was. We've just got to do a better job of that. I've got to do a better job preparing the team."
It was not a hat and T-shirt game — the Jets took care of that with a big defensive stand late in their win over the Steelers — but New York may have simply delayed the inevitable. The Patriots need just one win in their final two games to secure home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, and with games against Buffalo and Miami, New England has to feel pretty good about its chances of spending the entire month of January at home.
That doesn't mean the Patriots feel especially overconfident as they get set to shuffle off to Buffalo next weekend.
"Buffalo has been playing some tough games all year. All year they have been playing pretty good ball," Wilfork said. "They have put up some good points and they are very explosive on offense. [Ryan] Fitzpatrick, he has been throwing the heck out of the ball. The running game, [Fred] Jackson is probably one of the most underrated [running] backs in the league. He's a hell of a back.
"We are going to have to play some ball. Especially in a division game you can't look at a record and say, 'This is a win.' You can't do that, especially in the NFL and this being a division game. We have to come to play in Buffalo."

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
Natural Home kitchenware line, bamboo, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, formaldehyde
Two years ago, Natural Home magazine launched the Natural Home kitchenware line. As the leading authority on green living, we knew our products would have to stand head and shoulder above the rest in terms of beauty, durability and environmental impact. We chose bamboo as the best green material, knowing that we'd have to leap a few hurdles. Bamboo has become a favorite among environmentally conscious consumers because it's a fast-growing grass that can reach maturity in three years and is among the earth's most water-efficient plants. It's a smart alternative to hardwood, but processing bamboo can introduce unwanted additives such as formaldehyde and solvent-heavy lacquers. Determined to know that our product line is clean and healthy, last month we sent our representatives to the Chinese factory that processes our bamboo.
When it's harvested, our bamboo's outside layer is stripped away, using a machine very similar to a vegetable peeler (but much larger) and saved for future use. Next, the interior bamboo pieces are cut into long strips and submerged in a steam bath to deepen the color and free the bamboo of contaminants such as natural funguses and pests. The bamboo is allowed to dry and harden before it returns to the steam bath for a second round. This time, it undergoes a slight color change, depending on the length of time it spends in the second steam chamber. Unlike the colored veneers applied to hardwood, which can be sanded off the top layer with minimal effort, carbonized bamboo maintains its color consistency throughout.
To make our tools, factory workers press together bamboo pieces using high-pressure compression machines and a small amount of resin, which contains none of the harmful compounds currently allowed under U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards. The FDA allows a small amount of formaldehyde (6 parts per million) in processed bamboo, but Natural Home's editors just said no. We've developed a process that maintains the bamboo's structural integrity without using any formaldehyde. Natural Home products contain no veneer or lacquer; they're finished with a natural food-grade oil that gives them their soft, deep color.
Leftover byproduct from the manufacture of our products will soon be used to make molded bamboo products. In a process currently being perfected by our development team, we're turning bamboo sawdust into a strong, pliable plastic alternative that could reduce demand for petroleum-based plastics. Once this process is in place, our process will be zero-waste, without any byproducts for disposal.
Natural Home bamboo kitchen tools are formaldehyde-free.

Alex McCord and Simon Van Kempen are suing their former business partner for $100 million.
"McCord and her husband are suing a woman who they claim stole their business right out from under them -- a business that makes a ridiculously expensive, Egyptian cotton bed and bath line," TMZ reported on March 4.
According to McCord, she created a very successful bedding business called Aluxe with partner Vivian Douek, and all was going fine until Douek went missing. At that point, McCord claims, Douek was busy creating her own bedding line -- and stealing all of Aluxe's customers.
McCord alleges that Douek used the same Egyptian manufacturing company to create the competing line which ultimately robbed McCord and Van Kempen of revenue.
In her lawsuit, McCord claims her company lost a whopping $100 million because of Douek's betrayal.
After appearing on The Real Housewives of New York City for four seasons, McCord was let go, along with fellow stars Kelly Bensimon, Jill Zarin, and Cindy Barshop. Since then, she has kept a low profile, tending to business and her family.
However, now that this $100 million suit has hit the press, she's sure to be the talk of the town.

Comment of the Week comes from R.I.P.per, who is quite justifiably looking forward to the end of PostSurf because I haven't yet mentioned Team USA's ISA gold medal.
R.I.P.per says: August 15, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Not that you don't already know, but you're just shit. No mention of a Gold Medal in Costa?
Thing is, you can't give props. You just spread hate.
Looking forward to the end of PostSurf.
OK then. R.I.P.per's insightful comment sparked some healthy debate amongst other regular commenters concerning whether we should or should not be celebrating Team USA's triumphant victory.
Some highlights from that thoughtful discussion:
"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it." ~George Bernard Shaw
"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind." ~Albert Einstein
"They say that patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and they make you king." ~Bob Dylan
"Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons." ~Bertrand Russell
"It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind." ~Voltaire
"The ISA World Games? Really? Has there ever been a team-based surfing event that ANYONE cared about EVER? In a world defined by suffering, matters this trivial are of import only to patriotic retards, and the contestants that emerge victorious." - His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
