St. Mary's convent decision not a hasty one
To the editor:
I'm not sure the newspaper is a good place to debate parish matters, but that seems to have occurred. I consider Judy Beech a friend, and she has done wonderful service for Sleepy Eye in many ways. But I disagree with her letter concerning the convent at St. Mary's.
First of all, this is not a decision by Monsignor Lozinski. He is the spiritual leader of our parish and certainly involved in important decisions. He would not allow the demolition of the convent without support from parish leaders. The Administrative Council has voted several times to proceed with removing the convent as part of a larger project on the north side of the church. The first vote was three years ago. It has been the recommendation of the separate Building and Grounds Committee all along.
This has not been a hasty decision. The then-named Parish Council considered demolition of the convent 15 years ago. In reality, the more important "vote" was by two generations of parishioners who never have found any real use for the building after the sisters left.
I respect those who would preserve the convent. But many of us feel it is a matter of responsible allocation of resources. We do not have unlimited means at St. Mary's and choices have to be made.
I'm sure Judy would agree that our church is a city treasure, really a regional treasure. I'd invite any of you who have not been inside to visit. We hope you have a prayerful experience and feel the presence of our Lord there. But stay a bit longer, look around, and consider the tremendous responsibility it is to care for that today and for generations to come.
In Europe, the great cathedrals are maintained with government funding. In Sleepy Eye, the burden for maintaining that magnificent church falls fully on our parishioners. We willingly and gladly accept that charge.
On the other side of the convent is St. Mary's School. For 130 years, our parishioners have decided it was worth sacrificing to offer a quality, Catholic education to all who choose it. Tuition has gone up as we struggle to keep up with expenses. Still, tuition at Catholic schools in the metro area is six times what we pay at St. Mary's. We do not want St. Mary's to only be available to the wealthy, and our parish makes the choice to subsidize it.
I talk often to our staff, and they could find at least ten projects right now in the church and the school that are underfunded or unfunded. It is a constant balancing act to cover demands. And if someone would ever find an unused dollar lying around, it should go immediately toward teacher and staff salaries that all of us parishioners would like to see raised.
The Sisters of St. Francis served our Parish wonderfully for decades. Going forward, I think the greatest honor we can give them is to sustain the church and school they gave their lives to.

|lentils after a night's soaking
It 's always a good idea to soak green lentils overnight in cold water. This not only makes them easier to cook the next day but also much easier to digest.
In the 'olden days', preparation would begin one step before this: I remember my MIL sitting at the kitchen table patiently sifting little bits of stone and grit from her pile of lentils: a thankless task. Fortunately things have moved on and we buy our lentils in regular fashion from the supermarkets now!
Green lentils are more resilient than the usual red variety and are used for meals and salads as they hold their shape well. The red sort is usually reserved for soup – yes, the national favourite, mercimek çorbası is based on this.
Here's an easy everyday family dish that you can prepare without much fuss provided you've remembered to soak the lentils the night before. This kind of meal or yemek is easy on the budget too as you can put as much - or as little - meat as you like. The other advantage is that a meal like this can stretch to feed more mouths if necessary. Just add a nice pilaf and salad and there you are!
|here, served with yogurt
Ingredients for Green Lentils and Lamb – Etli Mercimek

Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups/1lt hot water

Skip to comments.Vanity: And behold a Romney bumper sticker
Posted on 07/16/2012 6:05:34 AM PDT by C19fan
Just as some background I live in Central VA as freepers know VA is one of the states that will determine who will win the POTUS election in November. I was at Costco during the weekend and I noticed a car parked with a bumper sticker and I beheld it was a ROMNEY sticker. This is the first one I have seen during this year long whole campaign sticker. I have seen plenty of Obama stickers, there is a significant African-American population in the metro area, and many Anti-Obama stickers but so far this sole instance of a Romney sticker. I got a bit annoyed when the Romney sycophants criticized Speaker Boehner for speaking the truth that except for Mormons nobody is going to cast a positive vote in favor for Romney but voting to fire Obama. All the anecdotal evidence supports Boehner's statement.
Stream-of-consciousness posting is quite unreadable.
I have seen only one Romney sticker as well.
It doesn't matter if they vote "for" Romney or not - as long as a majority large enough to overcome the voter fraud vote AGAINST Obama. That is what matters.
I have never put a bumper sticker on my car in fear of vandals.
I had a Bush-Cheney sticker I wanted to put on my car but I was working on a project in which I had to park in a lot that was shared with union trades at a project at the Pentagon.
99.9% of his vote will come ABO voters. The only people who actually vote FOR milt will be a few LDS'ers and Karl Rove.
I'm in central VA, too. I haven't seen a single Romney bumpersticker, but I have seen some for Obama....sported by blacks, ugly white women, and in one case, a fat white college student type with a carrot-top afro and a beater car.
Quite right. I have seen the clipped hairs with the Obama stickers.
(Because he's not Obama)
Or his VP.
I'm still cautiously optimistic about Romney's VP.
That's a good one.
I love the sticker with a picture of Obama, and text, "Does this ass make my truck look fat?"
McCain 2.0
I can count on two hands the number of Romney stickers I've seen here in the Hampton Roads area in the past few months. LOTS of pro-Obama stickers.
I wouldn't put a bumper sticker on my car if you paid me. I think they are tacky and ruin the car. I can't believe some people put stickers on the bumper of their new car. Never would I do such a thing. Our cars are 2-years and one-year old and there is no way. My last car was a 97 and STILL refused to put anything like that on my car (gave up the car in 2011). Even if Palin or Ronald Reagan were running, I would not put a sticker on my car. So tacky!!!!
Well to be fair, Romney isn't even the official nominee yet...
And the insinuated 'sex' message showed she has not been enjoying any.
Around here people won't put on a Romney sticker because they are afraid that Obama supporters are violent and that they or their vehicle would be harmed.
As far as your tacky comment, I just bought a car on Thursday. When it got home I put on a brand new bumper sticker. It's for sailing.
I found that image through a Google search and with that the credit belongs to someone else. The image I saw was limited to a circular sticker.
I can count on two hands the number of Romney stickers I've seen here in the Hampton Roads area in the past few months. LOTS of pro-Obama stickers.
Looking at the glass half-full, for all the A-As we have here in Hamp-Roads, the pro-BO stickers are pretty scarce as well as Kaine which I haven't seen one on a car. Just a guess but I don't think the A-As will be voting too fast for The One this time....pro-gay marriage, etc.
And I echo the " he's not the official nom with a veep pick" opinion.
@C19fan - Punctuation is your friend.
LOL CofA.
Peeling Obama '08 stickers on rusted Subarus at my dog park. Lanky bushy haired pale mountain women with yellow teeth and long gray braids...paired with thin mountain biking men sporting professorial beards. :-)
I know other people who worship their "stuff" — but the way they treat human beings is worse than "tacky". Hope you're not one of 'em.
Here in suburban Richmond I have only seen one Romney sticker (probably the same guy you saw). The closer you get to the city, especially the Fan district, the more Obama stuff you see. I have a magnetic Gadsden flag for my car but figure the open-minded love and granola types with their disdain for private property (except theirs) are likely to key any car that expresses a contrary opinion.
I have to agree, sadly. Years ago when Sore Loserman was the ticket, I had a Rush Limbaugh "AlGore is a risky scheme" sticker in my back window.
Parked at the airport (Atlanta) and came back to find my car keyed all across the hood and down the driver's side to the left rear quarter panel.
$5000 repaint, covered mostly by comprehensive insurance.
Police at the air port were kinda like "Oh well ..."
LOL, that is EXACTLY the look!
I recently saw a Volvo with an old Kerry/Edwards sticker on it. IMO, that's as pathetic as it gets.
Same here.
Living in the Bay Area I would never put a bumper
sticker on the car.I know the car would be vandalized.
My daughter lives 50 miles north of me and was parked in a large parking lot.While walking back to her truck, she saw a couple in their 50-60's ,walk up to her truck and spit on it.
Yeah,she had a Bush-Cheney sticker on the truck.
I haven't seen many Obama stickers, but some of the anti-Obama stickers are catchy. I guess I'll have to put on a Romney sticker, since he is the only course available for getting rid of Obama.
"Our pro-choice democrat socialist is better than your pro-choice democrat socialist! Romney 2012!"
A little long, but ...
"Tired of inept socialism? Vote competence. Romney 2012"
99.9% of his vote will come ABO voters. The only people who actually vote FOR milt will be a few LDS'ers and Karl Rove.

Another day, another TeaDay, more tea to enjoy, more cups to share.
Welcome to TeaDay, please make yourself at home and share what is in your cup throughout the day. While you are here, see what everyone else is sipping, vote in the daily poll, and discuss the topic of the day.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic is how much was your most expensive TEA brewing vessel. The tea pot is often the most expensive teaware we own. So, what was your most expensive tea brewing vessel...and do you use it all the time, sometimes, never. I did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable by asking how much it cost, but if you want to, go for it.
Have a great TeaDay everyone!!!

World's Best Creamy Coleslaw
by James Moore
No other side dish embodies a cookout quite the same as coleslaw. When made correctly, it's the perfect accompaniment to savory barbecued meats and vegetables.
The trick is to create a crisp salad with fresh vibrant flavors that isn't too sweet or too soupy. This is one of my favorite "dressings" for coleslaw. It can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to toss with the cabbage and veggies.
World's Best Creamy Coleslaw
Serves 8
4 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 head cabbage)
4 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1/2 head cabbage)
2 large carrots, peeled and shredded
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or 1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup grated yellow onion
1 green or red bell pepper, finely diced
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk
5 teaspoons celery seeds
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1. Toss cabbage and carrots with salt in colander set over medium bowl. Let stand until cabbage wilts, at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
2. Dump wilted cabbage and carrots into the bowl. Rinse thoroughly in cold water (ice water if serving slaw immediately). Pour vegetables back into colander, pressing, but not squeezing on them to drain. Pat dry with paper towels. (Can be stored in a zip-lock bag and refrigerated overnight.)
3. Pour cabbage and carrots back again into bowl. Add onions, bell pepper and parsley; toss to combine.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, buttermilk, celery seeds, salt, pepper and cayenne, and whisk well to dissolve the sugar.
5. Toss the dressing with cabbage mixture until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning, to taste. Place in the refrigerator, covered, to chill slightly before serving.

Stripes and Grandpa Sweater
This outfit is definitely an outfit that I feel is my "throw something on" look. It's simple and easy but still looks put together. I feel confident in this outfit. Confident and warm and cozy. Cozy is a big outfit theme for me during the winter as I'm sure it is for you guys.
I have next week off. I'm not sure yet if I'll be blogging or even catching up on everyone's blogs. I feel sad when I'm not checking in with everyone, so I will most likely check in at least once next week. My birthday is two days after Christmas. I will be celebrating all week long. We have plans almost every night. So, happy birthday to me.
Big hugs to all of you and Happy Holidays.
Striped Tee: Target
Sweater: J Crew
Jeans: Urban Outfitters

Scarf: Hawthorn Boutique, Oakland California
Coat: DKNY

The TFN reports today that angry responses from educators as well as the general public have persuaded them to hold off, at least temporarily, the adoption of an "alternative" language arts curriculum put together by a former teacher and current Christian-right homophobe and ideologue named Donna Garner. Creationist Dan McLeroy, who heads up the SBOE, favored Garner's curriculum, which had already been rejected as too rigid and outdated (in the TFN's words) ten years ago when the governor of Texas was none other than the clod who's been stinking up the White House since January 2001. Had the SBOE adopted it now, it would have utterly derailed a very intensive revision of language arts standards that has been underway for a couple of years, and which has the blessing of educators.
However, this is only a temporary setback for the fundies. The SBOE has put together a subcommittee (with McLeroy on it, surprise surprise!) to further study the matter. Expect the fight to protect students from these troglodytes to continue.

Unmasking Abilities: Where Therapeutic Art Meets Fundraising
Al Sigl Community is annoucing a brand new feature in conjunction with its annual WalkAbout this year: the SC Fine Art Mask Gallery. Eighty-five masks, decorated by Member Agency clients and community artists will be on display at the event at Eastview Mall. These masks were a chance for clients of the agencies and artists to get involved. Many found the decorating to be therapeutic and it also gave volunteers and clients a chance to bond.
Al Sigl has SOLD OUT of the sponsorships for the masks. Local companies have been "adopting" them for $250 to sponsor the annual WalkAbout. There is still a chance for you to get your hands on one, though! On Friday, October 5th from 6-9 p.m. you can attend the SC Fine Art Mask Gallery Unveiling. The event will have light snacks and beverages, raffles, masks up for auction and more! For directions or to RSVP, please click here. If you cannot attend the event and would like to bid in the online-only mask auction, click here.
The masks will also be on display at the Al Sigl Community WalkAbout on Sunday, October 28th inside Eastview Mall. Last year, over 1,300 took part in this Halloween-themed event to raise funds for Al Sigl Member Agencies serving tens of thousands of children and adults in our community with special needs. An annual tradition for area families, the event features kid-friendly entertainment, a costume contest, and fun prizes for individual walkers and teams. Click here for more information or to start your own fundraising team!

Intel Corp. on Thursday announced that it has acquired additional shares of Imagination Technologies, a designer of graphics processing technologies. Even though the company is now the second largest shareholder of Imagination, the world's largest chipmaker said that it had no plans to propose an acquisition.
Intel on Thursday acquired a further 25 million shares in Imagination Technologies Group through its wholly owned subsidiary Intel Capital Corp. As a result, Intel now owns 31 970 422 shares in Imagination Technologies, which represents 13.99% of Imagination Technologies Group plc's total issued voting rights (the stake is presently valued at $49.1). Previously Intel bought shares of ImgTec in December, 2008. The purchase makes Intel Imagination's second biggest shareholder, behind Saudi Arabia's Saad Group, according to Bloomberg data.
"Intel Corporation has acquired these additional shares for strategic reasons. Whilst Intel Corporation will continue to consider its options in relation to its holding in Imagination Technologies Group plc, […], it confirms that it has no current intention to make an offer for Imagination Technologies Group," a statement by Intel with the London Stock Exchange reads.
Intel has already licensed several generations of Imagination Technologies' graphics and video IP cores for deployment in Intel's PC, mobile computing and consumer architectures.
Intel is known for acquiring various intellectual property and considering that multimedia capabilities of mobile devices are gaining importance, it would make quite a lot of sense for Intel to take over one of the leading developers on the market. Still, the company said that it "values its continued relationship with Imagination and the use of Imagination's technologies by an industry-wide customer base".

About the Authors: Elizabeth Detmeister serves as the Deputy Press Attache and Martha Fedorowicz and Anne Buckle serve as interns at U.S. Embassy Paris.
On July 1, some 2,000 guests arrived at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, France to celebrate our nation's 234th birthday. It was a warm summer night reminiscent of so many hot American summers, and the Ambassador had selected a theme to match the heat: "Route 66." As guests walked down "Route 66," created from footpaths in the gardens, they were reminded of what it would be like to drive a Ford Mustang down the famous American highway which covers a total of 2,448 miles between Chicago, Illinois and Los Angeles, California.
We have to admit that it was quite a sight to see both French and American citizens alike feasting on various cuisines local to different regions of the United States. Several tents were set up around the gardens, each with its own theme containing a particular type of American fare. In the Chicago tent, there were Chicago-style hot dogs. In the American South tent, there was pork barbeque and corn bread. Continuing on the Route, guests tasted Southwestern gazpacho and empanadas that demonstrated our close relationship with our neighbor to the south. Finally, in the Los Angeles tent, fresh sushi rolls and wraps put a light end to the food tour of America. And of course there was dessert! Guests at the dessert table were able to cool off with frosted slushie drinks, soft-serve ice cream, Haagen-Dazs, and the American county fair fixture, cotton candy (known as barbe à Papa in French, or "father's beard"). Among the invitees enjoying the feast were American cinema legend Olivia de Havilland of Gone with the Wind, Michèle Alliot-Marie, the French Minister of Justice, and Sègolène Royal, the President of Poitou-Charentes, a region in the west of France, and numerous other foreign dignitaries and prominent figures.
To top off the evening, a military band played American jazz classics that spanned our nation's history as well as French classics like my personal favorite, Edith Piaf's La Vie en Rose. I really loved the Ambassador's choice to bring history to life, evoking America's growth and prosperity during the early 1920s when the famous "Route 66" was constructed. As a citizen of a nation with such a young history, I was very proud to see people from both countries coming together to discuss Franco-American friendship over Chicago-style hot dogs!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A good pre-VLM 20M race.In full: A good race with just a couple of potential tune-ups. The registration/changing was a long way from the car parking and the start, but the course itself was very nice - it starts from a business park but then does three laps of mostly quiet, rural roads. There's two minor hills on each lap, but nothing murderous. The course was well marshalled and there were plenty of drinks stations and encouragement. My only real problem was the mile markers seemed inaccurate - the first 'mile' or two were short and the last 'mile' was very long - not sure about the others. This made it difficult to keep consistent mile splits without the benefit of a Garmin, which is not ideal marathon preparation. The goody bags at the finish were decent - bag, biscuits, banana and a nice flask as a memento, and thankfully the finish was closer to the car-park than the start!Date of review: March 19, 2013
In short: Brilliant low-key race.In full: Lightning fast course in my opinion, without any slopes steep enough to put you off your stride -I went 2 minutes faster than Bristol without being in much better shape.Very well organised and well marshalled, even though it was in the countryside you never went an (accurately-marked) mile without seeing marshals and supporters. The combination of free food (hot-pot) and goody bags (hat, chocolate, medal) at the finish seemed generous and a nice touch.More car parking and less wind in the last few miles would have been great, but you can't have it all!Also, all credit to the organisers for not cancelling it due to the recent panic about weather. The course was fine and it's not like anyone froze to death.Date of review: January 20, 2013
In short: Undoubtedly a Big Race, but none the worse for it.In full: Overall, this was a very good event.There was ample car parking and the bag storage was a nice touch. The loo-queue was very long, but that was partly my fault for arriving late.The White start seemed to be a right mixed bag, as there must have been 95+ minute runners in it, even though there were the elites at the front,so the 1st mile was by far the slowest. No worse than many other big races though.By the Portway, people spread out and it was mostly a test of pacing one's self. The course then got more urban and interesting after about 7M. I didn't like the short, sharp inclines and sliproads, but lively crowd support made the last 5 miles seem that little bit easier. Gels on route was also nice, and I managed to set a PB.After the race, the organisation was good, though a lot of us never got the promised Costa vouchers in out goody bags and the T-shirts seemed to be very big. I got a Small and it's a great technical T, but as an average sized bloke I feel sorry for any small runners!Date of review: October 2, 2012
In short: Good for an inaugural event, despite horrible weather.In full: Swim - 800m pool. Standard.Pool near transition and transition near mount-up, so no time wasted running with the bike.Bike - quite a slow, technical course - had a lot of U-turns, tight corners and a steep hill that demanded caution (in wet slippery weather) on the way down and the granny gear on the way back up. Run - nowhere near 10K, probably just a bit over 5M, but fast and flat.The marshals could have spoken more loudly and the road to the race could have been better signed, but other than that, very good. Nice expo, no queues for numbers/toilets, decent prizes for 1st 3 M/F as well.Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Challenging terrain is all very well, but this was dangerous. Not worth a potential season-ending injury.In full: I enjoyed the flatter and more scenic bits of the race and didn't mind the climbing, but the descents had the potential to be lethal due to endless slippery mud and a lot of wet rock, although to be fair the weather had been pretty wet beforehand. The course was too rocky for spikes and too slippery for trail shoes, so there was no grip available to descend quickly. Also, some of the marshals seemed clueless (e.g. not pointing out an important 180' turn) and the course could have been better marked. Good points included a decent goody bag, plenty of water/aid stations and regular Km marks, even if a lot of Garmins measured the course as short. Date of review: July 8, 2012
In short: Up! Down! Up! Down!In full: After the exclusively-uphill first mile, your legs aren't quite the same for the other eight undulating miles and downhill finish, but it's a surprisingly enjoyable race. Not a PB course, but then it's not meant to be.Climbing/descending skills recommended!Date of review: August 14, 2011
In short: If you're not a climbing specialist, you won't enjoy the course.In full: The swim in the 40-yard outdoor pool was a nice change from usual, as there was neither heating nor lane ropes, but it seemed to work well.The bike course was very hard, as it seemed to be almost entirely gradual climbing with short steep descents and not much flat, meaning there was no real opportunity to get any rhythm or go fast.The run wasn't the route advertised, but also featured a long, steep hill up to the halfway point!As a challenging local sprint, this was a hard but pleasing event to do.Date of review: August 7, 2011
In short: Not one for the track specialists, thoughIn full: Very well-organised, with plenty of car parking, mile markers, drinks stations, the works. I liked the course and got a PB, so no complaints about the hills either!I don't drink Horlicks or mouthwash so was unimpressed by the goody bag, but a generous prize list more than made up for it.Date of review: July 25, 2011
In short: For a My First Half (tm), very good. In full: The course is surprisingly undulating in places for one advertised as "Flat"! I know the area so I wasn't surprised, but others might have been. Also, the single-file bit along the side of the A419 was a bit of a nuisance. Other than that, an excellent, well-organised race where you feel the whole town turns out to support. Date of review: November 9, 2010
In short: Mini-GNR and great for all.In full: Good bits: Held in Cardiff Bay, a nice placeRoughly flat - More down than upNot elitistGood atmosphere2 water stations + showerPretty quickNice goody-bag & T-shirtBad bits: Delayed startVery hot daySlower start pens too small, so too many slower runners in the fastest penSlower starting pens too small.Never saw a 6K mark!Date of review: July 29, 2008

Boxer says media sensationalized crash, DWI
LAKE PLACID – The lawyer for a boxer accused of drunken driving here says no decisions were made about his client's case at a court hearing Thursday.
Meanwhile, Tomasz Adamek – the 36-year-old professional boxer from Poland who now lives in Jersey City, N.J. – has written on his website that the media sensationalized the Jan. 13 car crash that led to his driving while intoxicated charge in the village of Lake Placid.
Adamek's lawyer, Brian Barrett of Lake Placid, said Thursday's court date was a "control hearing." Barrett appeared on his client's behalf.
"Nothing really occurred other than we just set dates," he said.
Barrett declined to discuss the accusations against Adamek, saying only that both sides will reconvene in court on March 14. Additional court dates may be set after that hearing.
Essex County Assistant District Attorney Michele Bowen is handling the case for the prosecution.
Police said at the time of the crash that Adamek lost control while attempting to steer his vehicle from Saranac Avenue onto Mirror Lake Drive. He crashed into an unoccupied parked vehicle, causing it to lurch forward into another parked vehicle, according to police reports.
No one was injured, but responding officers suspected that Adamek was under the influence of alcohol. He refused to take a chemical test to determine his blood alcohol content, and police charged him with DWI.
In a Feb. 7 blog post at www.tomaszadamek.eu, Adamek wrote that he was in Lake Placid to "ski and to rest from boxing," something he has reportedly done in the past. He went on to describe the "media chaos" that followed his car crash.
"From a small sliding accident in a cold and icy city they blew up to some huge collision," Adamek wrote. "It could not have been any different, the media always looks for the next sensation. All it takes is one story and then the snowball effect begins."
In the post, Adamek said the accident happened because the roads were slippery and icy. He didn't say whether he had been drinking prior to the crash.
Barrett declined to comment on the blog post.
The Enterprise was the first media outlet to report on the crash, but the story didn't play up the incident in a typically sensationalist way, instead describing the police department's relatively straightforward account of what happened and including response from Adamek's lawyer. The Associated Press ran a condensed version of the Enterprise report that was picked up widely. Adamek doesn't specify which media allegedly sensationalized the crash.
Adamek is a former World Boxing Council light heavyweight champion. He currently holds the IBF North America heavyweight title and has a professional record of 48-2. He will reportedly face Kubrat Pulev this spring, and the winner of that match could move on to face Wladimir Klitschko, the current WBA-IBF-WBO-IBO and The Ring heavyweight champion.

Recommendations for quality companies wanted
I am new to the world of tea and I am interested in learning more about quality companies. How is Mighty Leaf tea? I looked at their web site briefly but I was unable to find any info on their disclosure (perhaps from my own negligence?). Can anyone suggest some quality companies? I already have sampled things from Harney & Sons and Jing Tea. Any advice would be useful as I have only been exploring and experimenting with teas for a month or so. Thank you!
I'm not sure what you mean by "info on their disclosure" or how you are defining "quality". Mighty Leaf makes some fairly nice teas. Mighty Leaf and Two Leaves and a Bud are the tea bags I carry in my purse just in case I find myself someplace where I'll need decent tea but can't do loose leaf.
If you're talking about customer service, I've had very good luck with Golden Moon Tea and Den's Tea, both of whom went out of their way to help me with problems.
If you're talking about quality of tea, I've found that all tea companies seem to have teas I don't like and teas I like. The companies that have had the most teas that please me so far are Den's Teas (for green teas), Golden Moon and The Simple Leaf (for black teas), and Upton Tea Imports (they have a variety of good teas but I especially love their decaffeinated teas).
Others have shared teas from Rishi and Samovar with me and they were quite yummy. I don't have enough experience with the companies to recommend them. (But I suspect that takgoti will be along soon to recommend Samovar.)
What kinds of teas do you prefer? Blacks? Herbals? Whites? Greens? Yellows? Puerhs?
Some local (yet internet accessible) favorites of mine are www.hinastea.com and www.teafountain.com . Both have a really good selection and high quality products.
A lot of us give our opinions of companies here http://steepster.com/discuss/128-shopping-for-teas-online
Thanks, all!
Definitely check out adagio.com
They are great for people just getting into teas because they start you out with a $5 gift certificate. They offer cheap sample sizes and they also give you a free sample with your first order. Their teas are high quality and they have excellent customer service as well. Shipping is a flat $3.75, or free on orders over $50. Good luck!
Adagio has great costumer service and a large selection and you can get samplers to try many without spending a lot of money. I have been drinking a lot from Kusmi, Teas Etc, and Compass Teas lately and have found some great teas from them. I really like Infusion Tea in Orlando FL but it isn't as accessible. California Tea House has some creatives ones as well that I am finding too! And I really like Talbott Teas thus far! There is a lot of good stuff out there! I'm following you on steepster now and feel free to follow me! If there is anything you would like to try – let me know – if I have enough I could mail you a sample if you want!

I used KAAP flour and the oil in the pan is peanut on the bottom with a little crisco wiped on the sides and in the corners (just enough to see a thin white line in the corners) - each time I use the pans I need just a little less oil, this time it took maybe a tablespoon per pan and I could have used less (the pizzas almost popped themselves out onto the cooling rack). I doubt that I could have gotten the dough to rise much more without over-proofing it. Next round I think I'll go back to 400g per small pan and increase the cooking time by a couple of minutes or lower the stone to the lowest rack position.
That means that something like a bromated bread flour or high-gluten flour would be used by Buddy's.
There is also a company called World Cuisine Paderno that now sells blue steel pans, an example of which is shown at http://www.foodservicedirect.com/product.cfm/p/144753/World-Cuisine-Paderno-Blue-Steel-Baking-Sheet-13-3/4-inch-Length.htm. When I did a search for the Paderno pans, I found many sources that sell them. To see the Paderno pan sizes, go to http://www.world-cuisine.com/store/index.cfm and do a search of the catalog using the terms blue steel. I do not know offhand if the Paderno pans are sold in the same size(s) as used by Buddy's or its competitors for the Detroit style pizza. However, a few searches should answer that question, or one can go back earlier in this thread where I believe I gave the sizes that Buddy's uses. Another possible source--for dark anodized pans rather than blue steel--is Pizza Tools. See, for example, the Sicilian pans at http://www.pizzatools.com/Square_Sicilian_Pans/30879/subgrouping.htm. Note that those pans come in depths of 1.5" and 2". The 2" deep pans are closest to the blue steel pans. For comparison purposes, the Paderno blue steel pans are 1 1/8" deep. The advantage of the old blue steel pans that Buddy's and the others, including Jet's, were using is that they were quite cheap. And they are also deep, around 2" deep. Unless Buddy's and the others are able to find a new source of blue steel pans for their own businesses, they, too, may have to pay up for the alternative pans now being sold to the trade. Peter
Pete, thanks for the link to Paderno, their blue steel baking sheets would be just the ticket, and I have a local retailer not far from the house. That will make a great self gift.
In case it hasn't been posted, world champion Shawn Randazzo posted a video () a couple of weeks ago, describing and demonstrating how he makes his Detroit style pizzas.Some interesting points:1. It looks like he is using only one kind of cheese (or cheese blend) all the way across. It doesn't look like he's putting one kind of cheese around the edges and another in the middle.2. He puts the sauce on after the bake, saying that it allows the other ingredients to bake more evenly. Also, he warms the sauce.3. Most interesting to me, the video shows him putting the pie, in the pan, in the oven, which is a deck oven. But when he takes it out, the pan is gone. Apparently, he takes the takes the pizza out of the pan at some point and lets it bake on the bare oven surface for a bit - I would guess, to make the bottom crust crispier.Gene
My Detroit Style Pizza Co. pan arrived today. The included care & tips sheet recommended using a lower hydration than 65% for the first few bakes. How low can I go and still get good Detroit style pizza? Has anyone done a drier dough and have it turn out well? I'd post a scan I made of the instruction sheet but I can't figure how to reduce the 819 KB size of the pdf.
What are you trying to understand or figure out?
Gene,That was a very good video you found of Shawn Randazzo making a Detroit style pizza.In this video of Shawn Randazzo making the World Championship Detroit style pizza he does bake the whole way in the oven in the steel pan. Norma
Can you scan to a jpeg? Or if the instruction sheet is not too many pages and nothing else works for you, if you have a digital camera, you can photograph the pages and upload the photos. If you choose the "Web ready" picture size, you should be okay.
Gene,Applying the sauce toward the end is not unique. Via 313 does it, and Klausie's does it also.Peter

Claflin's Cooper, Heslop named White House Initiative HBCU All-Stars
The Office of Career Development has a station where they can schedule an interview with students and record the interview. Upon completion of the interview the tape is played back and the Career staff is able to show the students their strengths and weaknesses in the interviewing process. This is helpful for students because it allows them to see how they react during an interview and prepares them for interviews with actual employers or graduate and professional schools. This is a tool that helps students gain that Claflin Confidence.
The Office of Career Development will critique your Mock Interview; however, if you wish to retain a copy of the interview for your records, you must furnish your own video cassette.
The Office of Career Development schedules representatives from different schools and companies to conduct interviews with the students on campus. Some of the different schools and companies have been: North Carolina Central University, Walt Disney World College Program, East Tennessee State University, Thornwell Home and School for Children, Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department, and Nationwide Insurance Company.
Resume to be critiqued by the Office
Completion of a Consent to Release of Records form and a Transcript Request from
Non-citizens must have a copy of their permanent visa or work permit
See the On-Campus Interview Schedule Link for a list of upcoming interview dates.
For most fields, without an interview you will not get a job. Therefore, effective interviewing skills are a must! Others will be competing with you to obtain the same position. It is critical not only to convince an employer that you can do the job, but that you can do the job better than the other candidates that are also competing for the same position. Steps you can take: BEFORE, DURING & AFTER an interview that will help place you ahead of the competition and ease your tension about interviewing.
The time that you spend preparing prior to the interview will be time well spend in your job search process. The following are some tips on what you can do to prepare yourself for an interview.
It is important that you research an employer so that you can relate your abilities to the needs of the employer. Also, by having "done your homework," it will show an employer that you are interested in the organization and the position.
Employers will ask questions to generate an idea of the type of employee that you would be and the type of personality that you have. Employers will also give you an opportunity to ask questions that you might have about the organization or the position itself.
You may wish to carry a briefcase or a professional looking notebook with your questions written in advance. It is a good idea to include additional copies of your resume, letters of reference and a quality pen.
It is critical that you arrive on time to an interview. Arriving late to an interview not only wastes the interviewer's time, but also sends the message that you are not serious about your job search or about keeping commitments.
During the interview it is your job to convince the interview that you are the most qualified applicant for the position. Remember, you only have one chance to make a good first impression! The following are some tips on what you should do and not do during an interview.
Give the interviewer a firm handshake
Be enthusiastic, confident, courteous & honest
Be aware of your non-verbal behavior
Convey interest and knowledge in the position and company
Stress willingness, ability, and compatibility
Avoid the use of non-sentences such as "umm," "uh," "ya know," "well," and "yeah"
Always present the best of your background or qualifications
Listen to the questions carefully and give clear, concise and thoughtful answers
At the close of the interview, establish a date for your next communication
Always remember to thank the interviewer for his/her time
Don't address the interviewer by his/her first name unless invited to do so
Don't let the employer's casual approach fool you--maintain a professional image
Don't dominate the interview or appear arrogant
Don't criticize yourself or discuss your personal problems
Don't speak or act in a nervous manner
Don't ask questions that the interviewer has already answered
Don't interrupt when the interviewer is talking
Don't bring up negative information about past jobs, co-workers or former employers
Don't smoke or chew gum
After the Interview
It is a good policy to send the interviewer a thank-you letter as soon as possible after the interview. Be sure to reiterate your interest in the position and the organization. If you get no response from a thank-you letter, or if a date has passed when an employer was to contact you, don't hesitate to phone the organization. Above all, let them know of your continuing interest in them!
Salary and Compensation Links
Below are links that will help you to stay up to date on what the current salaries for you field of study are and the what are possible benefits and compensations to expect in today's work force.
Self Assessment
An important aspect of your job search is understanding yourself. An evaluation of yourself can help you decide what you are looking for as a career and what you have to offer. Below are 20 questions developed by executive recruiters to help you know yourself and your career aspirations better. They are also questions that a recruiter may ask you during an interview. Make sure that you answer these questions honestly; don't try to kid yourself! Review these questions about once every three months. It will help you to keep track of your career goals and the qualities that you can bring to the table.
