So If I'm calorie counting,Should I watch my carbs!!!(That sounds stupid dosent it)
Wednesday, July 17, 2013
If you been reading my blogs you should know that I been trying to fix my meals.I want to reach my calorie mark with out going over my fats and carbs. I explained this to my mother and she told me " You are calorie counting not carb counting". My problem is people say If you go over your carbs you will get fatter and If you go under your calories your body gets harmed. Is it ok if I go over my carbs.Could I eat like a normal person( not like people who stuff junk food in there mouth )and have more of a variety.Dont get me wrong I love my fruits and my veggies and my diet but sometimes It get boring.Could I have ....... I don't know I just been trying to research this. Please just tell me what you think. Should I count my calories and carbs or just focus on carbs.
Thanks for reading my blog(s).Feedback/Comment/Frien
d Me
Ps. Any additional advice containing to this, diet, or weight loss would be appreciated

Where are you getting this carb range you keep going over? Is it the one on your nutrition tracker page here on Spark? I find my carb range on this site to be very generous and I think I'd actually have to work hard to go over on carbs, though I do occasionally go over on fat. There's nothing "wrong" with carbs. They are a nutrient that your body needs. But your body does process them differently than fat and protein so it's important to try to keep all three in balance. Run your Nutrition Tracker report at the end of every day and check out the pie chart that tells you what percentage of your calories are from carbs, fat, and protein. You don't want carbs to account for more than about half of your total calories.

If you use the nutrition tracker on spark people, you can choose what to track. It will provide you with a range for various nutritional goals: I have calories, carbs, protein and fat chosen for myself.
I would focus on meeting your calories first. Track your food for a week or so and run the nutrition reports each day. The report will show you where you are meeting your goals, where you're going over and where you're going under. More importantly, read the little blurb that accompanies each goal. It will tell you why you need to meet the goal or what you can do to either eat less of whatever you've gone over or eat more of whatever you're under.
After a week, you should have a good idea of how your diet shapes up to where you should be. You can make adjustments after that.

Have you used the food tracker on sparks? ........... As you enter each food item, it tallies the calorie count ............. This to me simplifies the whole thing so it does not become an ordeal ................ You can also put in a search and look at some of Sparks blogs on what we should eat daily ........... The lady in front of me gave good advice too .......... as we need a balance .......... Lemme know ...........

I would try to stay in ranges for all of it. Calories, carbs, fats and protein. You need all of those things to maintain a healthy balance. I know it can be confusing and frustrating at times, but you'll get the hang of it!

Lots of questions:
I noticed some freshly cut trails at Otis this weekend. Who's making them? Is there a map of them somewhere? I also noticed that there are a lot of new dirt roads or at least the older ones were widened. Is there new development happening there? And is otis open to ATV's? They've really torn up some of the older trails. That's really bad for otis, since 3 inches down it's nothing but sand.

Perry, M B; MacLean, L L; Gmür, R; Wilson, M E (1996). Characterization of the O-polysaccharide structure of lipopolysaccharide from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans serotype b. Infection and Immunity, 64(4):1215-1219.
We previously reported that the serotype b antigen of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a constituent of the polysaccharide region of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and contains significant amount of the neutral sugars rhamnose and fucose (M. Wilson and R. Schifferle, Infect. Immun. 59:1544-1551, 1991). In the present study, we determined the structure of the O antigen of A. actinomycetemcomitans Y4 (serotype b) LPS. Aqueous phase LPS was obtained from a phenol-water extract of A. actinomycetemcomitans Y4. This material was found to react with rabbit polyclonal antiserum to serotype b but not with antisera specific for other A. actinomycetemcomitans serotypes. Analyses revealed that the O polysaccharide of Y4 LPS consists of a polymer of trisaccharide repeating units composed of D-Fuc, AL-Rha, and D-GalNAc residues. An identical structure was obtained for the O polysaccharide of LPS from A. actinomycetemcomitans JP2, another serotype b strain. These results indicate that the serotype b antigen of A. actinomycetemcomitans is defined by a trisaccharide repeating unit present in the O polysaccharide of LPS.

Texas Tech Uses 14-0 Run to Beat Missouri
LUBBOCK, Texas-Texas Tech started Wednesday night's game versus Missouri by scoring 14 unanswered points and Raider guard Rayford Young shot down the Tigers' comeback hopes in the second half as Tech cruised 80-60.
Missouri cut the Red Raiders' lead to 12 points with 14:43 to go in the second half, but Young hit three point baskets on three consecutive possessions to offset back-to-back three pointers by Missouri and reestablish a 15 point lead. Youngis offensive efforts were good for a game high 27 points.
"I was in a zone I guess," Young said. "It was a team effort all the way through. Our big guys set good screens for me and Cory and Stan found me right in the nick of time. On the last three I just threw them up and they just hit all net."
Defensive intensity was the key for Tech early on in the game. Missouri missed its first seven shots from the field while Tech seemed to grab every rebound and the Tigers didnit score until the 15:05 mark of the first half.
Hot shooting by Stan Bonewitz and Cory Carr for Tech in the first half led the way for the Raiders in the first half. Bonewitz made a trio of three pointers and a three point play in the first half to score all of his 12 points in the game during the first 20 minutes. Carr scored 13 of his 21 points in the first half.
"I think the defense is what kind of paced us as the start of the game," Carr said. "We got out and defended, got in the passing lanes, didn't give them second shots and really opened up a comfortable lead."
Texas Tech coach James Dickey says he is now concerned about getting his team ready to go to Waco on Sunday to play Baylor.
"We need to get on a roll," Dickey said. "We need to put this game behind us and start thinking about Baylor tomorrow."

Had my 32 week appointment yesterday. My OB told me that he prefers to deliver a baby at 36-37 weeks, because they are easier on mother, and 99% of time, very healthy babies. He said there is less tearing, and just normally an easier delivery. He told hubby and I to start having "lots of sex" as soon as I hit 36 weeks..lol.
Dr wants this baby born at 36-37 weeks
Ummm...OK? Sounds pretty crazy to me, and I would consider telling him a big fat "NO" and that your baby will come when its ready.

The doctor isn't saying that he plans to induce. Just that she should have sex with her husband.
Unless you all think that we shouldn't be having sex at 36 weeks to prevent pre-term labor? If so, that's something I haven't read in the pregnancy books.
Then your doctor is performing medical malpractice and going against ACOG, the AAP and many other medical organizations, not to mention common sense.
Babies born before 39 weeks have a much higher risk of problems that include but are not limited to breathing issues, sucking and latch issues, jaundice and later in life, asthma and other problems.

I had preterm labor with my daughter at 36 weeks and she was perfectly fine. My first child was induced at 38 weeks. My doctor prefers to induce but I do not think he likes to induce that early unless it is necessary or an emergency. My baby did ok and so does many others but not all babies are the same and they develop differently.

Desalination of Fracking Wastewater a Red Herring
Published: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 12:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 12:48 a.m.
To the Editor: In your front-page story Fracking water disposal discussed (3/8), you report that Vickram Rao, both director of the Research Triangle Energy Consortium and chairman of the Water and Waste Management Committee of the N.C. Mining and Energy Commission, said it would be a piece of cake to desalinate the wastewater from fracking, which, he suggests could be discharged onto the grounds surface for agricultural use. First of all, salt removal is not the issue of fracking. Has Rao forgotten the scene from the documentary Gasland in which a neighbor of fracking activity turns on the kitchen faucet that delivers his drinking and cooking water: at the touch of a match, its outpour bursts into flame? How does Rao propose to scrub water of such chemicals as carcinogenic benzene and naphthalene? Secondly, shouldnt Rao recuse himself from chairing a key committee charged with writing the regulations for shale-gas exploration and extraction? As a former senior vice president and Chief Technology Officer of Halliburton, a major supplier of oil and gas drilling equipment, he most likely owns significant stock in the company. If so, wouldnt that make Rao a fox writing the rules for the hen house?

Lisa Bluett rode Byron to a double victory at the Pinnerwood Riding Club Dressage Show on the 25th of September. Lisa, who has only been riding Byron a few months, gained a brilliant 79% in the Intro B test and an equally excellent 72% in Riding Test 12. Lisa was thrilled with her results and said "it's great to have these events at home, at Pinnerwood Stud. It is a great starter for the kids (and the adults!) to see what competitions are all about without being too scary!" Lisa also highlighted the convenience of these shows at home for those who don't have easy access to transport.
Lisa and Byron also came 3rd in Prelim 14, following Pennie Wickstead, riding Ned. Pennie and Ned took part in the competition last year, and judge, Jackie Barker remarked specifically on the improvement of this particular combination. The winner of the Prelim 14 class was Sarah Bird and Bob with a dazzling 80% score.
Jackie Barker, judge of the competition, believed she could "see a big improvement in the riders since last year's show." Jackie claimed that "by and large it is a very interesting competition to judge because of the diversity of competitors and it's very enjoyable." Jackie also remarked on the diversity of the highest scoring horses, from Arabs to Cobs, Warmbloods to Connemaras.
Prelim14 - 1st-Sarah Bird and Bob-80%, 2nd- Pennie Wickstead and Ned-76%, 3rd-Lisa Bluett and Byron-74%, 4th-Jessica Gill and Lord Darcy-70%, 5th- KP and Rufus-70%, 6th-Joules Wickstead and Buddy-69%.
Riding Test 12-1st Lisa Bluett and Byron-72%, 2nd-Jessica Gill and Lord Darcy-72%, 3rd KP and Rufus-68%.
Intro B- 1st-Lisa Bluett and Byron-79%, 2nd-Tracey Bourne and Burt-60%, 3rd-Chloe Abrahams and Muppet-56%, 4th-Ros Hartley and Zara-53%

Erythema nodosum (say "air-uh-THEE-muh noh-DOH-sum") is a condition in which red, painful bumps suddenly appear under the skin. They usually appear on the shins, but they may also appear on the forearms, thighs, and trunk.
This condition can be caused by a number of diseases and infections, or it can be caused by medicines. About half the time, there is no obvious cause.
It often starts with flu-like symptoms, such as fever and aches. Sometimes these symptoms come before the rash.
After a few days, the bumps turn bright red or purple and then fade to yellow or green, much like bruises. They usually fade completely in a few weeks.
Treatment is often not needed. But your doctor may do tests to try to find out what caused the problem.

Aliyah Jumps 20% in 5771
Aliyah to Israel rose by nearly 20% during the Hebrew calendar year of 5771, compared to the previous year, the Immigration and Absorption Ministry announced Thursday. Over 21,000 immigrants settled in the country since last Rosh Hashana, with the majority from the former Soviet Union and North America. Immigrants also arrived from Europe – mostly France and Britain – and South America. The Ministry also said that some 2,800 immigrants came from Ethiopia, double the number in 5770.
Nefesh B'Nefesh continued to be the main conduit for immigrants from North America; in July alone, the organization brought 700 olim to Israel. Besides helping families and individuals with aliyah plans, NBN has also been holding job fairs for potential olim, and the strong Israeli economy as compared to the current weaker economy in the U.S. and Europe, according to aliyah activists, has been a factor in spurring more interest in aliyah.
According to experts, if there is one factor that has been holding back aliyah, especially from North America, it is the high price of real estate in Israel. Prices in many oleh communities especially are high, a result of misguided government building policies over the past decade, as well as limited to no building in many communities in Judea and Samaria, creating further pressures on housing prices.
As a result, North American olim have been moving to communities far afield, in parts of the country that had not been on the "radar" of immigrants from the U.S. and Canada and where housing prices are more reasonable – places like Carmiel, Ma'alot, and Nahariya. Earlier this month, Nefesh B'Nefesh hosted an event for olim who, as part of the organization's "Go North" program, have moved to these areas, with over 500 people participating. An additional 62 olim from the U.S. are set to settle in Carmiel during September, the organization said. Over the past year, 395 NBN olim settled in northern Israel, 200 of them in Carmiel.

Seth Rogen and Chris Pine are on a list to play one of the two male leads opposite Reese Witherspoon in the comedy "This Means War" for 20th Century Fox says The Wrap.
The story follows two life-long friends who fall for the same woman (Witherspoon) who has moved into their spare room. They end up fighting for her affections, a fight which literally demolishes much of New York City along the way.
Though rumoured to include Robert Downey Jr. and Matt Damon, Rogen and Pine are apparently the only ones in competition for the role of FDR, one of the two friends. The other friend role was offered to James Franco who has since passed on the job.
Bradley Cooper was also recently attached but dropped out of the project. As a result, Rogen could segue into the role Franco left so both he and Pine could potentially star.
Tim Dowling ("Role Models," "Midnight Run 2") is currently re-writing the script the studio purchased well over a decade ago. McG is slated to direct the film which aims to start filming in July. Will Smith and James Lassiter will produce.

College Hockey:Boehm scores deuce to lead Bemidji State over Nebraska-Omaha
OMAHA, Neb. — Coming into Saturday's game at Nebraska-Omaha, Bemidji State senior forward David Boehm had scored three goals in as many years in non-exhibition games.
He didn't play like it on Saturday.
His two second-period goals on Saturday were the difference in the contest, and his second tally stood up as the game-winner in a 3-2 triumph over UNO at CenturyLink Center.
The victory boosted BSU's record to 2-1-1 (1-0-1 WCHA), coming some 24 hours after a 3-3 draw the night before, where the visitors overcame two two-goal deficits and deserved more than the lone point they got.
With the loss, UNO's third Saturday loss in as many weeks and first defeat in WCHA play, the Mavericks fell to 2-3-1 and 0-1-1 in the league.
What's more, BSU is now unbeaten in its last eight games in Omaha.
CenturyLink Center (née Qwest Center from when the Beavers' streak began) has been good to BSU, and coach Tom Serratore's team will undoubtedly miss visiting that arena when UNO departs for the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference at the end of this season.
"We've been so fortunate, and, again, the hockey gods have been good to us down here," Serratore said. "We've had good goaltending when we've been down here, and I think that's been the key."
Sophomore netminder Andrew Walsh was solid in the Beavers' net for the second night running, making 25 saves Saturday to go along with the 39 he'd made the night before.
BSU opened the scoring 11:05 into the contest, with senior forward Ben Kinne roofing a shot past UNO goaltender Anthony Stolarz for Kinne's first goal of the season.
Boehm then doubled the visitors' lead just 97 seconds into the second period. Linemates Jeff Dubinville and Brance Orban, on the first of the latter's two assists on the night, set up Boehm for the senior's first goal since scoring an empty-netter in Omaha on Feb. 4 of last season.
UNO then suddenly — some might say finally — came to life and scored a pair of goals to restore parity. Sophomore forward James Polk found a way past Walsh at 6:17 of the second period for Polk's first goal of his collegiate career, and Josh Archibald leveled the game at 13:07 with his first tally of the night and second on the weekend.
Boehm brought UNO back down to Earth at 18:21 of the same period, though. Capitalizing when UNO's defense should have cleared its zone twice on the play , Boehm snuck in and beat Stolarz, who was out of position at the far post for the shot.
UNO coach Dean Blais then opted to pull Stolarz after Saturday's second period, bringing on senior John Faulkner in Stolarz's stead. A freshman, Stolarz had a rough night in the Mavericks' net, stopping nine of the 12 shots he faced over 40 minutes and looking shaky throughout.
Bemidji then had to weather a storm in Saturday's third period. Walsh was up to the task however, stopping all seven shots he faced in the weekend's final frame to help clinch three points in the Beavers' final WCHA regular season series in Omaha.
As for the hero of the night up front for BSU, Serratore said that Boehm's two goals were much-deserved rewards for prior performances that went overlooked on the score sheets.
"David Boehm's got tremendous speed, and he gets a lot of scoring opportunities," Serratore said. "He's a senior forward right now, so he's a seasoned veteran. He had two goals in one of our exhibition games, so David's played extremely well for us, and (his two goals Saturday do) not surprise me at all.
"He's a guy that plays with a motor, he gets behind defensemen, he competes extremely hard, and eventually those guys are going to get some puck luck."
Boehm himself was glad to see his hard work finally pay off in such a big way.
"It always seems like I have a lot of chances game-in and game-out, and there's something about Omaha. Last year, I scored here in Omaha, so I'm just glad that they went in, and especially when we really needed them."
In the opposite dressing room, Blais made his frustrations known about his Mavericks' inability to take points — points plural — from Bemidji on UNO's own ice.
"We know what they do; it's just hard to play against them," Blais said. "You've got to come up with loose pucks, and they're a veteran team where they had seven or probably eight seniors that played tonight.
"We just had an opportunity when we tied the game, but let it slip away at the end of the second period."
UNO is busing to Houghton, Mich. next week to face Michigan Tech, while BSU has next weekend off before visiting No. 19 Colorado College.

"Players fails to load content. A player may be missing downloadable content."Is at the bottom of my screen. I can watch the prologue but not play the game. After the prologue ends, it returns to the press's start screen. I cannot connect to the internet where I am. Is there a download that I am missing? Did I just get screwed out of $60 for not being able to download something for the single player campaign?Also, can someone explain the process to installing disc 2 in detail, because that's not working for me either.

Despite 24-hour blasting and tunneling, most in the city are unaware of the cavernous construction site far beneath their feet.
14:09, UK, Thursday 07 February 2013
Sixteen stories below Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, an army of workers is blasting through bedrock to create a massive new commuter rail concourse.
They have hauled out enough rocky debris to cover Central Park almost a foot deep.
"I look at it and I'm in wonder, I'm in awe," said engineer Michael Horodniceanu, president of capital construction for the state Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
"I feel like when I went to Rome and entered St. Peter's Basilica for the first time ... I looked at it and said, 'Wow, how did they do that?'"
The site and two other major projects are costing an estimated $15bn (£9.57bn).
When they are all completed in 2019, they will bring subway and commuter rail services to vast, under-served stretches of the city, particularly the far East and West sides of Manhattan.
The most dramatic project will result in a sort of 21st century, underground Grand Central Terminal mirroring the century-old building above.
But for now, the subterranean hub is a drippy, humid construction site.
The raw, dark grey walls mark the dimensions of the future eight-floor concourse - about 70ft (21m) wide and 1,800ft (550m) long.
The three mammoth projects have required creative solutions and the latest technology.
When crews prepared to drill a giant new cavity under Second Avenue, they first had to freeze the ground to about minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 29 Celsius) so as not to destabilise the buildings above.
The tunnels are coated with a material once used to fireproof the space shuttle.
The new line also incorporates enclosed air cooling plants, instead of ventilation grates that allow rainwater to pour in.
When Superstorm Sandy hit New York last October, floodwaters washing over the East Side did not penetrate the vast subway construction sites.

The 1990s saw the end of the Cold War and an intensification of Middle East problems. The U.S. expelled Iraq from Kuwait in 1991. At the same time, much of the world breathed the air of freedom for the first time in decades. However, the troubles with Iraq had just begun and new enemies lurked waiting to ambush the west. Few noticed as the tech revolution took hold and created an artificial economic bubble. Essentially, the 21st century began in the early 90s. The following are the ten most important people in the decade in alphabetical order.
George H.W. Bush: President George H.W. Bush won a sweeping electoral victory in 1988. He passed the first major piece of civil rights legislation since the 1960s, removed Manuel Noriega from power in Panama, and is credited with putting the country on the path to a balanced budget. In 1991, Bush led a coalition of nations against Iraqi aggression in the Middle East. The Bush coalition evicted Saddam Hussein from Kuwait in spectacular fashion. The president's approval rate topped 90%, but a mild recession undermined his support in the country. On top of this, the budget deficit led to the third party candidacy of Ross Perot. Perot's appearance on the ballot cost Bush re-election in 1992.
Bill Clinton: President Clinton rode economic dissatisfaction and Ross Perot's candidacy into the White House. His first two years were abysmal and the Republicans captured Congress. Clinton's fortunes changed in 1995 when he abandoned progressive policies. His administration, with Republican help, balanced the budget and reformed welfare. Overseas, Clinton helped end the bloody Yugoslavian conflicts. On top of this, the tech bubble revitalized the economy. However, storm clouds gathered as scandal beset the White House. The Clinton impeachment saga allowed Osama bin Laden to organize the 911 attacks and the administration's advocacy of low income mortgages eventually collapsed the economy.
Hillary Clinton: First Lady Hillary Clinton proved a double edged sword for her husband. On one hand, she helped insulate him during the Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky Scandals. Her support saved Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign and softened the public in Lewinsky's wake enabling the president to survive. On the other hand, she created Obamacare 1.0, which angered the American people into throwing Democrats out of office. Perhaps no person is more responsible for the GOP takeover of Congress in 1994 than Mrs. Clinton.
Bill Gates: The personal computer revolution began in earnest in the 1970s. By the mid-90s, Bill Gates and Microsoft literally ran the world. Microsoft Windows provided the tech revolution's operating system. Then, Gates jumped into the internet race, created Explorer, and ran competitors into the ground. Gates is the man most responsible for the tech boom and the economic expansion in the decade.
Stephen Hawking: Stephen Hawking united quantum mechanics with the theory of relativity. Hawking's work revolutionized science, helped explain the Big Bang and black body radiation emanating from black holes, and even validated the theory of multiple universes. He became a media star in the decade with a best selling book, appearances on Star Trek and The Simpsons, and vocals on a Pink Floyd album. He continued his work and frequently appeared in the news well into the 21st century.
John Paul II: John Paul II's efforts to undermine communism came to fruition. The U.S.S.R. completely collapsed in 1991. Throughout the nineties, the pontiff worked to bridge the chasm between religions. Additionally, he worked to maintain traditional church positions on social issues. Lastly, John Paul II oversaw the Catholic Church's transition into the 21st century.
Nelson Mandela: The South African government jailed Nelson Mandela in 1962. The anti-apartheid activist transitioned from non-violent protest to training as a guerilla fighter. He was arrested, sentenced to life in prison for treason, and became a symbol of white South African oppression. Apartheid fell and the government released Mandela in 1990. The people elected Mandela the first president of a multiracial South Africa in 1994. President Mandela worked at reconciliation, battled racism and history, worked on land reform, battle extreme poverty, and became the world's foremost moral authority.
Slobodan Milosevic: Yugoslavia disintegrated with communism's collapse. A series of civil wars plagued the region throughout the 1990s. The Yugoslav Wars turned brutal, personal and genocidal. In 1999, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic was charged with crimes against humanity and genocide for his role in the wars. The president became a symbol for genocide in the post Cold War era. Demonstrations forced Milosevic from power in 2000.
Yitzhak Rabin: Israel's fifth Prime Minister worked for peace in the Middle East. He signed the Oslo Accords in 1993 in order to establish permanent peace in the region. Oslo set forth a path for Palestinian self determination, established the Palestinian Authority, and gave limited autonomy to the Palestinians. His efforts led to the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. The following year, a militant Israeli who opposed the Oslo Accord assassinated Rabin. Later, Palestinian militants disavowed the peace process and continued their attacks on Israel.
Boris Yeltsin: Originally, Boris Yeltsin supported Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms. Over time, he evolved into Gorbachev's fiercest critic. In 1990, he became the chairman of the Supreme Soviet. The next year, the people elected Yeltsin President of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. Meanwhile, Soviet hardliners attempted to overthrow Gorbachev. Yeltsin rallied the people against the coup. His efforts undermined the hardliners, saved Gorbachev, and led to the Soviet Union's collapse. Yeltsin was elected Russian president. However, economic problems associated with the communist collapse, the rise of oligarchs, corruption, incompetence, and perhaps health issues undermined Yeltsin's presidency. He resigned in 1999 leaving Vladimir Putin to run the country.

Rosticceria + Eventi, Rosso's newest location, is the latest addition to the Santa Rosa food scene. For those of you who are familiar with the pizzeria-focused location in downtown Santa Rosa and the mozzarella-focused location in Petaluma, you will be pleased to hear that Rosticceria + Eventi distinguishes itself with a focus on rotisserie-style dishes. Rosticceria + Eventi is open for breakfast and lunch, providing delicious local coffee from Taylor Maid Farms, freshly-made pastries, and an array of rotisserie meats, quiches, sandwiches, salads and more; they also have an impressive wine list that features many of the wonderful local, Sonoma County wineries. At night, Rosticceria + Eventi becomes an event space dedicated to bringing providing guests with delicious and unique dinner experiences.
On Wednesday, June 11th, Rosticceria + Eventi held its first winemaker dinner with Kokomo Winery. Kokomo Winemaker, Erik Miller, and 4th generation Dry Creek farmer and grape-grower, Randy Peters, co-hosted the evening alongside John Franchetti—Rosticceria + Eventi's Executive Chef. The evening began with a Prosecco reception, which allowed guests to mingle with each other, as well as speak with Miller, Peters, and Franchetti. During the Prosecco reception, Rosticceria + Eventi hosts passed around wood-fired pizza, hot out of the, topped with juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh aromatic basil.
When dinner began, guests took their seats at the large, family-style table amongst Miller and Peters. Franchetti was behind the scenes in the kitchen, preparing the five-course meal to be paired with five different varietals of Kokomo wine. As each dish was served, Miller addressed the crowd to discuss the winemaking techniques and tasting notes for each varietal. Then, Franchetti appeared from out of the kitchen to divulge the scrumptious details and ingredients for each unique dish.
2013 Grenache Rosė paired with Scallop Crudo
For the first dish, Franchetti served a lovely scallop crudo with verjus and a saffron, tomato risotto cake, topped with yellow peaches. To pair with this lovely dish, Franchetti chose Kokomo's 2013 Grenache Rosė from Pauline's Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. The Rosė boasts bright stone fruit flavors, a smooth texture at mid palate, and a crisp, refreshing finish. When tasted with the dish, the stone fruit flavors of the Rosė, as well as its bright finish, perfectly complement the delicate texture of the scallop crudo and the sweet yellow peaches on top. The tenderness of the scallop crudo also gives weight to the wine, providing a rounder and fuller mouth feel. In contrast, the crispy risotto cake balances out those smooth textures by adding a pleasant and tasty crunch. Overall, the flavors of the scallop crudo couldn't have been any better to pair with this delicate and flavorful Rosė.
2013 Sauvignon Blanc paired with Fontina Focaccia
Next on the menu was the fontina focaccia, topped with arugula, prosciutto, and lemon oil. This dish was a delight with Kokomo's 2013 Sauvignon Blanc from the Timber Crest Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. The wine exhibits refined earthy and grassy flavors alongside a subtle minerality. Together, the fontina focacci and the Sauvignon Blanc complement and contrast each other in different ways. The bitterness of the arugula definitely heightens the grassy notes in the wine, while the salty prosciutto actually brightens the acidity. When eaten with the dish, the finish of the wine becomes more full and rich from the creaminess of the fontina cheese. These flavors and textures work in perfect unison, pleasing every inch of the palate.
2013 Muscat Blanc paired with Lamb Rosticcini
The third pairing was one that shocked the crowd, but certainly did not disappoint! Lamb is typically paired with big, bold red wines; however, Franchetti pleasantly surprised guests with his lamb rosticcini and Muscat Blanc pairing. The lamb rosticcini was prepared with an arugula salad, topped with a roasted lemon and mint vinaigrette. This dish was rich and juicy, making it pair quite well with the rich, yet subtle sweetness of the 2013 Muscat Blanc from the Timber Crest Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. The succulent lamb matches the texture and weight of the wine, while the arugula helps tone down the sweetness of the wine and bring out more earthy flavors that complement the mint vinaigrette. The textures of this pairing complement each other, while the flavors of this pairing contrast each other—giving the wine and food good balance, complexity, and cohesiveness.
2013 Pinot Noir paired with Spoon Pudding
For the fourth dish, Franchetti served a unique French toast-style spoon pudding—stuffed with bacon—and a rosemary marinated portabella, covered in a balsamic vinaigrette glaze. This delectable dish was served alongside Kokomo's delicate and aromatic 2012 Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley, which has notes of cranberry, plum, and subtle oak. Right from the beginning, the bacon picks up on that subtle oak and brings it forward on the palate—creating a smoky compatibility between the food and the wine. Together, this pairing feels smooth and silky on the tongue as a result of the interaction between the rich, French toast-style spoon pudding and the fatty bacon; this also balances out the subtle dryness of the wine beautifully.
2012 Zinfandel paired with Charred Pork Steak
For the final dish, Franchetti paired a beautifully prepared honey ginger charred pork steak with an apricot, corn salad, to go with Kokomo's 2012 Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley. This hearty Zinfandel exudes baked blackberry and raspberry fruit, subtle oak, and notes of clove and cinnamon. The subtle oak and baking spice characteristics pick up on the spicy ginger and smoky flavors from the charred pork. Additionally, the honey sauce—drizzled on top of the dish—creates a rich, caramel-like flavor that wonderfully complements the dark berry fruit of this complex Zinfandel.
On their own, Kokomo wines stand amongst the best of Sonoma County. For Franchetti, his unique and delectable dishes would please even the toughest food critic. Together, Rosticceria + Eventi and Kokomo Winery exude food and wine pairing greatness. Keep an eye out for Rosticceria + Eventi's next winemaker dinner; you won't want to miss the brilliance behind Franchetti's food and wine pairing expertise.

Grow your own medicine instead of buying it. Sounds overly simple, but growing medicinal plants is as easy as growing your own food. Consider what ails you, like skin irritations or high cholesterol, research the health benefits provided by different herbs and flowers, then select some medicinal plants that would best meet your health needs. Select a sunny location, prepare the planting site, plant, water and in a few weeks you will be reaping the fruits of your labor and feeling better for it. Start your medicinal garden off with these easy-to-grow plants-
Aloe Vera
Popular houseplant used to treat minor burns and skin abrasions. The juice inside the plant leaves contain antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that promote healing for wounded skin.
Extract the juice from the plant to ease the pain and promote healing of blisters and warts. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked.
Garlic and Onions
These two medicinal herbs have been proven to help lower cholesterol and prevent blood clots by preventing the platelets from sticking together.
Ginger root provides flavor for a variety of cooking uses and medicinal purposes. Ginger tea calms an upset stomach, squelches headache pain and lessen the frequency of migraines.
Stimulates blood circulation and increases energy.
This herb helps to control blood pressure and is rich in healthy antioxidants.
Parsley aids in digestion, freshens breath after a meal and discourages tooth decay when chewed after a meal.
Lavender Flowers
The fragrance of lavender flowers calms and soothes and the dried the leaves can be used to make a soothing, calming tea to reduce stress.
How to Plant
Select a sunny location with well-draining soil for creating your medicinal garden. Till the soil to the depth of 18 inches and work in organic matter like compost or well-rotted cow manure to amend the soil and provide food for the herbs and flowers.
Group plants together that have the same light and water needs to make garden maintenance easier. Create a size and shape garden bed that allows you to reach the center for harvesting the medicinal plants as needed. Planting a container garden with several medicine herbs and flowers is a way to grow your own medicine in small spaces and create an eye-pleasing living plant arrangement. Several small containers of medicinal plants can be grown on a sunny windowsill indoors so you will have access to free and natural medicine year 'round.

We went out for a late supper.
Sister Sarah was feeling like Italian food so we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory.
We both got the dinner packages, which included either a soup or salad, a main and spumoni ice cream.
The sour dough bread was good.
We both got minestrone soup.
Sister Sarah got spaghetti with a mushroom sauce.
I got chicken parm.
There was too much food and neither of us finished our plates.
We got our ice cream but just had a couple spoonfuls.
The food's not fancy but the service was great and the price was cheap.

Oh my. I want to take that loaf of bread, slice it lengthwise, cut the chicken parm in half, and stick it on the bread, cover it with parmesean cheese, and eat the entire thing until I can no longer move from my food coma.
YUM! It looks amazing!!!

Now you're cooking! 9 heart healthy food substitutions
One of the myths about dieting is that a person has to give up their favorite meals in order to eat well. However, by using the right substitute ingredients, you can make many of your favorite recipes healthier and just as delicious.
With the help of the American Heart Association and the people at familyatheart.org , 9 On Your Side has put together a list of 9 heart-conscious food alternatives.
These healthy substitutions can help you cut down on saturated fats, trans fats and cholesterol, while noticing little, if any, difference in taste.
|When recipe calls for ...
|Use this instead …
|Whole milk (1 cup)
|1 cup fat-free or low-fat milk, plus one tablespoon of liquid vegetable oil
|Heavy cream (1 cup)
|1 cup evaporated skim milk or 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt and 1/2 cup plain low-fat unsalted cottage cheese
|Sour cream
|Low-fat unsalted cottage cheese plus low-fat or fat-free yogurt; or just use fat-free sour cream
|Cream cheese
|4 tablespoons soft margarine (low in saturated fat and 0 grams trans fat) blended with 1 cup dry, unsalted low-fat cottage cheese; add a small amount of fat-free milk if needed
|Butter (1 tablespoon)
|1 tablespoon soft margarine (low in saturated fat and 0 grams trans fat) or 3/4 tablespoon liquid vegetable oil
|Egg (1)
|2 egg whites; or choose a commercially made, cholesterol-free egg substitute (1/4 cup)
|Unsweetened baking chocolate (1 ounce)
|3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or carob powder plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or soft margarine; since carob is sweeter than cocoa, reduce the sugar in the recipe by 25 percent
|Try cooking with more heart-healthy liquids, rather than oil. These include lemon juice, sherry, tomato sauce, vinegar, skim or 1 percent milk, wine, low-fat broth, fruit juice or a combination of these. Replace oil with applesauce to make a lower-fat, heart-healthy recipe. (One cup of unsweetened applesauce may replace 1 cup of oil).
|Use vegetables as the main course. Hearty (and more "meat-like") vegetables include Portobello mushrooms, artichoke hearts, eggplant, green, red or yellow peppers.

Here we are, in a darkened dungeon deep underground, watching as our tour guide shines a flashlight on various torture devices and explains how they were used to spike, stretch, suffocate and inflict pain on sufferers in the Middle Ages. Not your typical Napa Valley winery tour, I'll say.
Then again there is nothing typical or ho-hum about Castello di Amorosa, a spectacular $40 million Calistoga winery built in the style of a medieval Tuscan castle. Besides the dungeon it has 106 other rooms, a chapel, church, farmhouse, dry moat, drawbridge, hidden passageways, courtyards, massive stone walls and towers that rise in the center of picturesque hills and acres of grapevines.
It is not mandatory to take a tour of the castle when you go, if you go, although in this case it might be worth it. There are so many wonders and curiosities about the place you really don't want to miss any of them. We are there as part of the Napa Valley Wine Train's "Castle Winery Tour," and our guide is Mark Peebles, who greets us in the chapel with an introduction you don't hear every day.
"Hi," he says. "I'm Mark. I'll be your tour guide and bartender."
The bartending would take place later, at the end of the tour, in a private tasting room. As Mark explains, Castello di Amorosa makes lots of wine in addition to hosting tourists from Italy to Indiana. (Word to the wise: The castle can be shoulder to shoulder with people on busy weekends. Best to go midweek if you can.)
Seated in the chapel listening to his introduction, we have a chance to admire a lovely fresco depicting Mary and Joseph set back into the sanctuary behind an arch. Perhaps surprisingly, given the castle's Imax-sized scale and scope, attention and care are given to the details. Outside the chapel, tucked into a recess in a stone wall—8,000 tons of imported stone and a million bricks went into the making of the castle—is a figurine of St. Catherine of Siena, holding flowers and a Bible.
The owner and chief visionary of Castello di Amorosa (translated: Castle of Love) is Dario Sattui, whose dream it was to create a working tribute to Italy's distant past and his family's winemaking heritage. (His great grandfather Vittorio Sattui founded St. Helena's V. Sattui Winery, which Dario also owns.) All around us, as we stand in the central courtyard, we can see sincere efforts at historical authenticity blended with fantastic flights of the imagination. Perched on a wall not far from the chapel is an iron device that medieval kings and nobles used to display the decapitated heads of their enemies. Beyond that is the wrecked remains of a tower, built and left deliberately in this state to simulate an enemy attack on the castle, conducted perhaps by the friends of those guys who had their heads chopped off.
Two years ago Pixar and Disney studios held a private employee screening of the animated movie "Brave" at the castle. It may be the film's creative team also conducted some research there because the Great Hall is patterned after a royal banquet hall in which you can easily visualize the lords and ladies of "Brave"—its setting is feudal Scotland—feasting on black pudding and mugs of mead on the long wooden dining table in the center of the room.
Italian-born artist Fabio Sanzogni painted the frescoes in the Great Hall and everywhere else in the castle, including the chapel and yes, even the restrooms. There are two knights in armor on a men's room stall and a smile-producing painting of a man in a hat from the Middle Ages at the entrance.
Given that the castle opened in 2007—it took 15 years to build—all this antiquity is still pretty new, including when you go down below ground and explore the cool, sweet-smelling wine caves. (In a nice bit of symmetry the castle goes four stories below the ground and at its highest point four stories above it.) Like a pied piper of tour guides, Mark leads us along corridors lined with wine barrels, walks us through a barrel tasting of a young Cabernet Sauvignon, shows us the iron-gated cells in the dungeon—used for aging bottles of wine—and then delivers us to the torture chamber where we pepper him with questions.
"I love these questions," he says. "They're so deep. Really. One time somebody asked what wine is made of."
The torture chamber is not the climax of the tour, though. That comes in the tasting room where Mark, slipping into his bartender's role—"My friends, where to? What kind of wine do you like?"—fixes us up with swallows of Pinot Bianco, Sangiovese, Il Barone Reserve and other award-winners in the castle's lineup.
Good wine, it is said, tells a story of place and time—the place where the grapes were grown and the wine created, and the time in which it occurred. Castello di Amorosa tells a story too—a fantasy adventure of lords and ladies, heroic battles and dreams realized.
General admission is $19 per person, which includes a tasting. Children are $9 per. Tours are $34 per person for adults with a barrel tasting and premium wine tasting; $24 for children and young adults. Phone: 707-967-6272. The Wine Train's Castle Winery Tour includes a guided tour, barrel tasting and premium wine tasting, plus all the features of a trip on the train.
The Napa Valley Wine Train tells its own sort of fantasy adventure story. To read Kevin Nelson's diary of a day on the Wine Train, please click here.

Ayala's On Assignment (And Not The James Bond-Secret Spy Kind)
Usually, when I hear that someone is "on assignment", I think of something like this. Guns firing, things blowing up, cool gadgets, and a guy in a suit who always gets the girl.
Unfortunately, for Mr. Ayala, his "assignment" will be the kind of trip where a stunt like this might be the most exciting baseball-related action that happens on any given day (thus is life in the minors for a former major leaguer).
To replace Ayala, the Twins called up Bobby Keppel (a righthanded pitcher who has both relieved and started) from the AAA Rochester Red Wings.
This is a move that, at least I felt, needed to be made quite a long time ago. After only a month or so, it was pretty clear the kind of pitcher Ayala is now. He can play the law of averages (much like Livan Hernandez before him), but on too many occasions he will give up the big dinger or just plain get hammered by batter after batter.
With Craig Breslow, Jesse Crain, and now Ayala gone from the pen, I actually like the direction this is heading. Besides Sean Henn, the Twins are moving away from the re-treads holding on for one last hope and more towards the future. Yes, it is a full-bore rebuilding effort, but the Twins have always had a knack for doing that kind of thing on the fly. In all honesty, we seem to handle changes better DURING the season than before or after it.
Unless one of our current pitchers really struggles or gets hurt, it wouldn't surprise me if Ayala never resurfaces in a Twins major league uniform.
One That May Have Gotten Away
I was very surprised to learn yesterday that the Twins lost right-handed reliever Bobby Korecky to the Arizona Diamondbacks via wavers. Besides his exciting extra-inning base hit in that crazy game last season, I was very impressed with his poise on the mound. Give him another year, and he could become a major-league reliever, with closer status not far behind (he was the primary closer for the Twins' Triple-A team the past two seasons).
I think what's even more bitter is that we lost him to fill a spot for Luis Ayala. Personally, I think Ayala will be one of those guys who will stick around for a few months (probably a month too long, if the Livan Hernandez experiment showed us anything last season) and then be gone due to just plain old bad pitching. Thus, I think letting Korecky go for Ayala is a mistake that, although it may not be season-breaking, is one that may haunt the Twins a bit when/if Korecky makes it big somewhere else.
-In other Twins news, Gardy mentioned the other day that he would love to have Dennys Reyes (who is still a free agent) back in his pen. While I can see the rationale (Reyes did have his moments against lefty batters), there were just too many times last season where the Big Sweat would come in and walk the only batter he was asked to face, or throw one in the dirt and allow a baserunner to advance. Craig Breslow can do just as good of a job against lefties and throw less wildly in the process.
-Tomorrow night, I will give my thoughts on the signing of Joe Crede to a one year contract.
SP: The Four Horseman and One Stud
Last offseason, the Twins lost arguably the top three starters from their pitching rotation in Johan Santana, Matt Garza, and Carlos Silva, as the money just wasn't there to sign them to long-term contracts. So, heading into the 2008 season, the starting rotation was the biggest question mark of the team.
Remarkably, though, by the end of the season, the Twins had again dug deep within their organization and (big props to pitching coach Rick Anderson) built a solid starting rotation. Here is how the starters performed over the course of the season:
Livan "Fat Man" Hernandez (10-8, 139.7 IP, 5.48 ERA): The Twins signed the Fat Man before the start of the season in order to give their starting rotation some veteran experience, but he was a colossal failure. He benefited from some extremely good luck (to get those 10 wins), with his only talent being the ability to throw a complete game nearly every start (of course, he would surely give up five runs). Hernandez was jettisoned at the end of July.
Francisco Liriano (6-4, 76, 3.91): In 2006, the Cisco Kid wowed Twins fans with his biting slider and extremely live fastball before rupturing his arm and needing Tommy John surgery to tidy it up. After taking 2007 off, then, Twins fans had high hopes for Cisco in '08. At first, things took a terrible twist, as Liriano (in his first few starts with the big club since '06) could not throw strikes and got hammered even by poor teams like Kansas City. After just three starts and an 11.32 ERA in April, Liriano was sent back to the minors to work out the kinks. He returned in August and looked much more like the Liriano of old, striking out more batters with higher velocity. He struggled a bit at the end of the season, but clearly has the potential to be the staff ace in '09.
Scott Baker (11-4, 172.3, 3.45): With Santana a Met, the Twins were counting on Baker to be the rock of their rotation in a year where Liriano would still be gaining his footing. The success of Baker, though, depends on how you look at it: Usually, Baker did live up to the moniker of staff ace, mowing down batters in a Liriano-like fashion when he was on. However, Baker also struggled mightily with pitch count, often leaving games after just five innings and putting more strain on an already-brittle bullpen (more in further posts)…not what you want out of your ace.
Kevin Slowey (12-11, 160.3, 3.99): The Twins were looking for Slowey to take the next step in his development as a major league pitcher, and by and large he did just that. Injuries prevented him from achieving the 200 inning plateau, and he (like Baker) also struggled with pitch counts and leaving games early. When he's on his game, it's eerily similar to watching the departed Brad Radke ply his trade.
Nick Blackburn (11-11, 193.3, 4.05): Judging on past experience, Blackie turned in the most remarkable season of all Twins starting pitchers in 2008. A complete unknown coming into the season, Blackburn nearly reached 200 innings and spun a legendary game in the one-game playoff against the White Sox (although sadly he was not rewarded for his effort). He's a sinkerball pitcher, so either he was getting his ground balls, or the balls were flying out of the park.
Glen Perkins (12-4, 151, 4.41): After missing nearly an entire season due to injuries, Perkins (a former Golden Gopher) latched on to the fifth starter position and didn't let go for nearly the entire season. He was arguably the Twins' most consistent pitcher in the middle months of the season, but seemed to tire (or just stink) down the stretch, raising some concerns about his strength.
So, the 2008 Twins were able to put together a remarkable young rotation (no one older than 26) that pitched them to within one Jim Thome home run of the playoffs. Of course, with that youth brings question marks for '09: Can Perkins hold up over a whole season? Can Baker and Slowey manage their pitch counts better? Can Blackburn get the sinker working more times than not? Can Liriano get back to version.2006?
