Summer Sanders is more than just an Olympic gold medalist swimmer and a television host. She's also a mom. That's why safety, exercise and healthful eating are important issues to her. This school year, she wants to get more kids excited about these things. On August 17, Sanders, who got a hand—or handle—from Schwinn Bikes, did exactly that at a special back-to-school event in New York City.
Sanders came to town to help kids trick out their bikes with some shiny new gear for the upcoming school year. Kids at the event were given a variety of accessories to choose from including bells, personalized license plates, streamers and helmets. Biking is "so good for you," Sanders says. It's good for the environment too. That's the idea behind Schwinn's new Vestige bike, which is made out of flax fiber. It was just one of the cool, new bikes available to try out at the event. Kids were also invited to take a spin on a real professional racing bike.
But even though the event focused on biking, the main message was clear: It doesn't matter how you do it, just get active! TFK sat down with Sanders to get her tips on staying healthy and fit.
What do you think is the biggest reason that kids aren't getting enough exercise?
Kids are busy with homework, and there are also a lot of distractions such as video games and computers. It's about incorporating your [exercise] when you do other things. You can bike to your friend's house or bike to the playground, as opposed to having a parent drive you there.
You're a swimmer and your husband is a skier. What sports are your children interested in?
We get that question all the time. People even ask: "What kind of Olympian is your son going to be?" But we don't talk about that at all in our house. My goal is to introduce my children to as many sports as I possibly can with the hope that they find something they love and are passionate about. Both my husband and I feel very lucky because we were both introduced to our sports at a young age, and we just love them.
What activities do you do as a family?
Every single night, especially in the summer, we go on family bike rides. After you eat dinner you can feel really full and kind of lazy. [Our solution to that: We hop on our bikes.] It's a great way to relax before you go to bed.
What challenges do you face when you're trying to get your kids to eat healthfully?
Actually, my kids like healthy foods. The challenge is making the healthy food readily and easily available for your kids. It's one thing to have the veggies in the house. But it's another thing to have them already cut up. [One thing parents can do is take some time] to cut up all the peppers and snap peas and carrots and broccoli and put them in containers in the fridge for an easy snack. Half the problem with kids eating salty, fattening foods is that they are in little packs, so all you have to do is open and munch away.
Do you have a go-to food when your kids have a sweet tooth?
We make homemade popsicles. We use juice, some milk, some agave nectar, some honey and some other stuff to sweeten it up. And we have this awesome popsicle maker that you put in the freezer. It takes, like, nine minutes to freeze up. It's amazing. You can get some really good popsicles out there that are all fruit with no sugar added. The word popsicle just sounds like a treat to kids.
What type of role do you think parents should play in getting kids active?
They should lead by example. Put down what you're doing two times a day and just go outside and play with them. Teach them something new, whether it's riding a bike, running or introducing them to a new friend who can do something fun with them. Go out and show them that exercise is important. My kids are constantly asking me, "Why aren't you going on a bike ride today?" They're my mini-coaches.
You won an Olympic gold medal when you were 19. What led you to become an athlete?
I have an older brother, and he was my hero. He joined the swim team, so I joined too. I followed in his footsteps, and found something that I was truly good at, that I had natural talent in. I loved the idea of challenging myself and pushing myself and setting goals. I quickly became addicted to the feeling of achieving those goals, and that's all I wanted to do.
What advice do you have for young athletes?
For young athletes, my advice would be to love your sport and know that nothing comes easy. Hard work, dedication, discipline—all of that—is how you get results. Workouts are hard, but try to keep the fun in there somewhere.

Just a very short time ago I began to experiment with Feeding Pollen Sub.
I've learned a lot and have seen the potential for this to be a great tool.
I've mixed a few smaller batches, experimented and have a recipe I'm happy enough with to mix a large batch and feed for the remainder of the time I add sub. I'll offer some on here once I understand where I'm at and if I have extra.
The basic recipe is
Brewers yeast #10
Egg #5
Oils. 1 pt
Corn syrup 1 qt
Sugar #25
Isolate 1#
Attractants E.O's
The recipe is a combination of common recipes found on the Internet and speaking with local beekeepers.
I cut the amounts down to give a general idea, the oil is a couple ounces more etc. Acid is lemon juice, vitamin C and citric acid I'm still waffling on lemon and the consitancy of ph it provides.
It's high in sugar and has no soy flour to contribute to my goal of having it consumed quickly and discourage SHB.
I'd like to continue to improve so here are some of the areas I think I need to address first
Sterols,Lipids,cholesterol - what oils or fats I'm using a combination now. As you can see I'm leaning toward higher fat content to both ensure requirements are met as well as keeping product usable and attractive.
Vitamins- Here in Florida my bees aren't stressed as others my be. They often have access to forage.
I'm as concerned with giving them the wrong vitamin or too much of I'm the right ones. That said I need a good... No make that great source of vitamin A & K. I think I've got one but I'm not sure about accessibility of the nutrient so it shall remain nameless. Thoughts?
Isolate proteins, what offers the balance to brewers yeast, eggs with attention to value?
Minerals, I'm erroring on the side of too little for my environment I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the biology and at higher amounts may do harm.
This study made me think that it's not about developing a Pollen Sub but maybe about developing a product that bees can easily utilize to turn into bee bread. I know it's not a huge distinction but it maybe an important one

Ordinance poses serious obstacle to new mission of former mayor John Cook
EL PASO, Texas - Former Mayor John Cook will be the new administrator for the U.S. Mexico Border Mayors Association but he will not be able to speak with Mayor Oscar Leeser about border mayor issues.
Cook agreed to work for free for the Association because he said he still has knowledge he wants to put in use. He said if he calculated he has more than 5,000 hours of municipal and policy training. "That's quite a lot of institutional knowledge that I have and I would hate to see all that die on the vine."
Instead of serving on the association as a Mayor, he'll serve as the Executive Director and will help the association draft resolutions, update the website and coordinate conferences.
There's one obstacle to Cook's plan. A City Ordinance which council passed when Cook was Mayor does not allow Cook, or any other elected official or city supervisor, to lobby the city. At least not for two years after leaving office. Which means he can't have formal or informal talks with the city about any of the issues of the border mayors association.
"Technically I can speak to any mayor about border issues that relate to cities other than my own mayor which is Mayor Leeser. I don't think that that was the original intention of the ordinance. It's an unintended consequence," Cook said Thursday.
Cook can meet with Leeser as a private citizen. He said he's going to do that on September 5th to talk to Leeser about how the city lobbying ordinance affects him.
The former Mayor, who was in public office for more than 14 years is setting up an office in Downtown El Paso to serve as the headquarters for the mayors association. He also plans to run for Texas Land Commissioner.

The "Biggest Picture Frame"
I'd like to see a picture frame occupy a whole wall. Or perhaps, a personal space tha has a wall that can act as a picture frame.
Imagine putting up such a frame with a picture of a loved one. Or a picture we may have inserted of rooms of a real life house. Having that picture up could make a small space seem larger (and furnished).
Re: April 2013 Suggestions!
Yet it was a suggestion and was more than applicable for the forums.
Oh well, it got misread. And community managers remain blind.
So much for forum rules and community.
Re: April 2013 Suggestions!
- Add some choppers ,different styles and colors
- There is a beach on home but the party /dance places have gotten old imo ,I miss the rooftop singstar space but a HUGE party space would be great with different levels as a public space. Having a view of a city skyline at night ,lights,dj's ,the works!
- Maybe another public or private space (all with rewards we can earn via free mini games) like Stark Tower off of Iron Man
- NFL jerseys please ,current and retired players would be nice ,the NFL sells everywhere. Could also stem things like LMO's and spaces as well , mascots , cars or bikes with team colors and logos etc. Along with Hats ,think NFL shop on home.
-Also i'm not sure what happened with the events board but let us post on those again , I found so many fun events posted by users by simply viewing the events board on home.

2014 Honda Ridgeline First Look
Despite Rumors to the Contrary, the Ridgeline Is Back—and Gets a Special Edition
Visually, the Ridgeline hasn't changed all that much over the lifetime of the vehicle, but Honda has offered special editions and new trim levels of the truck to Ridgeline fans. Before model-year 2014, the most recent addition had been the Ridgeline Sport. Now, Honda has introduced the topline Special Edition model, which will go on sale in November.
The Special Edition joins the lineup at the very top, above the RT, Sport, RTS, and RTL. It comes with features such as a power moonroof, black leather interior, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, foglights, XM Satellite Radio, and ambient console lighting, like in the RTL, and adds its own new amenities as well. Styling features include 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels with black accents on the spokes, plus Special Edition badging on the tailgate. What also sets this apart from the rest of the lineup are other styling cues, borrowed from the Sport, which include black headlight and brake housings, black honeycomb grille with black surround, and a black tailgate. Other standard items are Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System 2 with Voice Recognition and Zagat Survey info, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera display. The Special Edition will come in Taffeta White, Crystal Black, and Alabaster Silver. Power comes from the tried-and-true 3.5-liter VTEC V-6, which puts out 250 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. It's backed by a five-speed automatic. Towing capacity is unchanged, at 5000 pounds. Fuel economy is expected to be consistent with the rest of the line: 15 mpg city, 21 highway.
"Honda's commitment to the truck segment is underscored by the new special edition model of the 2014 Honda Ridgeline," said John Mendel, executive vice president of Sales at American Honda. "The increased customer interest in Ridgeline this year demonstrates the important role Ridgeline will continue to play in the Honda lineup." According to Honda, the Ridgeline has enjoyed double-digit sales growth in 2013. With that level of sales success, it makes sense to keep the truck around.
Pricing for the Ridgeline SE starts at $38,335, including destination, which is the same MSRP as the Ridgeline RTL with leather and Navi. Those interested in learning more about the 2014 Ridgeline can visit http://automobiles.honda.com/ridgeline.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with a ferocious Cesc Fabregas strike in a 2007 North London derby.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Fabregas v Tottenham (A) 09-15-2007
By September of 2007, 20-year-old Cesc Fabregas had already established himself as the talisman of Arsenal's midfield - but not really as a goalscorer. In fact, prior to that year his highest goal-tally for a season was just four.
But that would all change in this North London derby.
The Gunners started the season firing on all cylinders. Even a trip to White Hart Lane couldn't stop them, although they needed to come from behind to get their three points.
Gareth Bale put the home side up in the 15th minute and it wouldn't be until the second half when Emmanuel Adebayor brought Arsène Wenger's side level.
The momentum was now firmly with Arsenal and, with 10 minutes left on the clock, they started to pull away from their rivals.
Alexander Hleb started a counter-attack by finding Robin van Persie inside the Gunners' half. The Dutchman slid the ball to Tomas Rosicky who in turn fed Fabregas 35 yards from goal.
The future captain took one touch and the Spurs back-four backed off, clearly not expecting what was to happen next. The Spaniard then let fly.
His searing right-footed effort blew past Paul Robinson and into the top-right corner.
So much for not being known as a goalscorer. It was Cesc's fifth in Arsenal's opening eight games and he ended the season with 12.

Natural Balance
The human diet today is vastly different from that of our ancestors. For early mankind, hunting, fishing, and food gathering were imperative, and as a consequence, human beings evolved on "natural" foods. These foods supplied a diet that was low in total fat and saturated fat, but contained a balance of omega-6 and omega-3s, which are Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).
In the past, we have eaten foods containing omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a ratio of about 2:1. Over the last 50 years, we have increased our reliance on cereals, processed foods, and most significantly, vegetable oils and spreads, and decreased the consumption of oily fish and grass-fed meat. Because of this, our omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is at least 10-20:1.
The modern Western diet is thereby deficient in marine sourced omega-3 fatty acids, throwing our optimal nutritional ratio out of balance.
Every area of the human body is susceptible to problems if the balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids is disrupted. The point at which this imbalance becomes a problem is not yet known, and in practice, will probably vary from person to person.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) provide energy, and their caloric value is similar to other fats and oils, but unlike saturated fats, they have important health roles. As their name suggests, they are essential and must be consumed daily because the body has limited storage for them.
It has been shown that omega-3 EFAs are involved in normal physiology including:
- Regulating bodily secretions and their viscosity
- Dilating or constricting blood vessels and in regulating blood pressure
- Regulating collateral circulation
- Directing endocrine hormones to their target cells
- Regulating smooth muscles and autonomic reflexes
- Being primary constituents of cell membranes
- Regulating the rate of cell division
- Maintaining the fluidity and rigidity of cell membranes
- Regulating the inflow and outflow of substances to and from cells
- Transporting oxygen from red blood cells to the tissues
- Maintaining proper kidney function and fluid balance
- Keeping saturated fats mobile in the blood stream
- Preventing blood cells from clumping together
- Mediating the release of inflammatory substances from cells that may trigger allergic conditions
- Regulating nerve transmission and communication
- Maintaining normal neurological function especially in the brain and retina
- Regulating the formation of new tissue with emphasis on growth and development (prenatal newborns , and beyond)
Thus, a diet deficient in Omega-3 EFAs may contribute to the onset of certain long-term degenerative illnesses or conditions. This deficiency is listed as the 8th leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States1.
1Danaei G, et al. The Preventable Causes of Death in the United States: Comparative Risk Assessment of Dietary, Lifestyle, and Metabolic Risk Factors. PLos Med 2009;6(4).
Chronic Illness
In chronic illness, it has been shown that an increase in the omega-3 EFAs of marine origin can improve a range of conditions, both physical and mental. Research is continually producing positive findings supporting the use of omega-3s for a variety of health conditions.
Choosing the right omega-3 ensures you receive necessary nutrients for optimal relief of certain symptoms and overall well-being. Omega- 3's rich in EPA and DHA in their natural triglyceride form provide an excellent natural approach to general wellness. PRN Physician Recommended Nutriceuticals® provides the purest, most therapeutically potent omega-3 based nutriceuticals possible. All of PRN's omega-3 based products, when taken as recommended, deliver a therapeutic amount of omega-3 EPA and DHA as recommended by the American Heart Association.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Frau Muller, Jan 12, 2014.
Why? She did a fantastic job with Johnny Weir.
Yes, Weir has certainly been quite successful. Whether that was because of or despite Modlin, I don't know.
Thanks for posting. I was reluctant to watch this at first because the word "rally" in your description of it made me think of those awful days from my high school career where we were brought into the gym and forced to scream, "WE'VE GOT SPIRIT, YES WE DO, WE'VE GOT SPIRIT, HOW ABOUT YOU?!?!?!?!?!"
This is nothing like that, both Brandi and Kerri's speeches were funny, articulate, and so genuine and sweet (but not too sappy IMO) that I literally had tears in my eyes after watching.
Answering my own question, based on this tweet pic it looks like David Glynn at the very least will be with Polina.
OT but didn't realize that the coaches get all that Olympics swag as well. Sweet!
Here's hoping Polina will skate two clean programs!!!!!What would the judges do? She's just at the right age (historically) to win the gold!!!
Love the pic. I am one of those who likes that over the top sweater-jacket and Polina pulls it off like a model.
I am expecting great things from her in Sochi. Huge talent, too young to know fear - a perfect Olympic situation. Go, Polina!
ETA: If Tara Modlin is her agent, will I get to see Polina in NJ? Tara M seems to be based around my area.
She's an unknown skater coming into an event chock full of veterans and favorites. Two clean programs should definitely keep her in the top 10 but I can't see her getting higher than 6th or 7th; the field is just too deep this year. In order for her to win gold the event would have to be an unmitigated disaster with basically all of the top contenders falling to pieces.
The best thing Polina can do is have fun. If she turns in two good performances it will help when she goes to worlds next month. With so many of the top competitors retiring, a great showing at the Olympics should sway the judges to bypass some of the wait-your-turn-for-PCS withholding that most newbies are subjected to. Just look at Mirai's PCS from her SP to her FS in Vancouver, then look at her SP score from worlds...if she'd replicated her FS from Vancouver, she might have medaled if not won worlds that year. The judges gave her the green light but she couldn't deliver.
If Polina seizes this opportunity, she could set herself up very nicely for this next quad...
Yes, she could set herself up quite nicely!
Aren't both of her programs the most technically difficult, at least of the three American ladies?
Was Polina in the opening ceremonies? I didn't see any pics of her there?
Go Polina!!!! I have a thing for under-the-radar-skaters, and she is of much better technical and performance quality than both Russian girls, IMO. (That LP isn't a great vehicle though )
She may not be in Russia yet? I'm not sure. The ladies singles event doesn't start till a little under two weeks, if you can believe it. It's not like she'd be getting practice ice right now as the other athletes have priority. Of course, the Shibs and C/B don't compete for 1 1/2 weeks as well, and they're in Russia. Not sure. Does anyone know if Polina has actually traveled yet?
ETA: Looks like she was in Germany as of yesterday.
The Olympics are a once in a lifetime opportunity. Who knows where Polina will be in 4 years and with her Russian heritage, I think it would have been an amazing experience to march in the opening ceremonies. I really hope she did get to march with the rest of team USA.
If she skated two clean programs, she'd definitely be higher than that.
Go Polina!! Any new Polina at the Olympics news?
My understanding is that Gracie and Ashley will be meeting up with Polina in Austria. Frank Carroll will be staying in Sochi with Dennis Ten.
Bummer that Polina didn't get to march in the opening ceremonies. I know she's serious about going for the gold, but still....
I wonder why she didn't come in for them. It wouldn't have cut her training much. Unless the fed. won't pay for multiple flights and she couldn't afford it.
I'm pretty sure that decision was left up to Polina and her team.
I'm sure it was. It is always the athlete's choice. I just wonder why she chose not to come.
I don't know, does the Fed. pay for multiple flights, hotels, etc. ? If not, maybe it's a matter of finances? (Also, she attends a brick and mortar high school full-time.)
Well, that's what I said about flights, maybe fed only pays once. She'd be able to stay in the village, so hotel is moot except if her parents also come (fed does not pay for them).
I doubt it is school since she is supposedly in Europe.
Polina didn't take part in the opening ceremonies? Why would she pass up a once in a lifetime event like that? It's not like she's a favorite to medal plus Gracie took time from her training to walk in the ceremony and she had ti compete 2 days later.
Well, perhaps it is a financial issue, as we have been discussing.
According to this, her dad is CFO at Inphi - I just looked at the company's executive compensation disclosures here, and he seems to be doing pretty well. He even used his miles to upgrade her flight to first-class, so if he really wanted to fly her to Sochi for the opening ceremonies and back to Munich, I think he could have done it. It just seems like Polina and/or her mother wasn't interested.
Yeah, the Edmunds family is not in any way lacking for funds. Her mother Nina is pretty intense and I imagine wants her to stay in Munich and train train train, so as to not be distracted by the Olympic media just yet.
Because unlike worn out Gracie Gold who is putting all of her efforts and energy into homosexual revolution instead of her practices, Polina Edmunds is in Sochi to compete and not to engage in political propaganda.
Or well, actually in Munich where she's laying low and training hard in peace and quiet. The Ladies are competing at the end of the Olympics and USFS didn't pick her for the team event so no need for her to travel to Sochi just yet.
I think you are meaning to insult Wagner, not Gold.
I didn't realize the opening ceremonies were political propaganda. Many skaters go to the ceremonies and then leave the next day to go back to train wherever they are locating themselves. It just seems like a surprising thing to miss. Oh well, I'm sure she had her reasons.
Not to be outdone by Gracie Gold's red lipstick with side-eye on the podium or Ashley Wagner's "bullsh*t" face in the team Short Program, Polina Edmunds makes the Onion:

MANUFACTURER: Shepherd
Review This Item
The SHEPHERD 3-10x40 P22LR Dual Reticle System Rifle Scope (310-P22LR) is designed special for 22 long rifle caliber.
The model 310-P22LR has 9" range-finding circles for use on prairie dogs, crows, squirrels, etc. Please note that circles can be adjusted up or down to accomodate faster or slower loads.
Drop figures in inches from 50 yds / zero to the center:
Why some scopes lose their zeros and some don't? Rule #1 is: In order for a scope to lose its zero, something between the reticle and the target must move. Rule #2 is: In order to see what moved you need two reticles, each one to track the other.
The old type German scopes put the cross hair in the front focal plane. They hardly ever lost their zeros because the only thing between the reticle and the cross hair was the objective lens. The drawback was that the reticle magnified when zoomed and blocked out long-range targets. Americans put the reticle in the rear focal plane where it would not magnify. The main drawback with this was that it put about three more lenses between the reticle and the target. The American system was then three times more likely to lose its zero. The American was more convenient but the German system was more reliable.
Shepherd Rifle Scope gives you the best of both worlds with the drawbacks of neither. Sheperd uses the front focal plane location for rangefinding and bullet drop compensating circles. This gives Shepperd Scope the German dependability and, when zoomed, the circles do not block the targets but instead frame them and give you instant target engagement on any power. Then put the cross hair in the rearfocal plane (where the Americans do) in order to get the benefits of a nonmagnifying reticle. This patented Dual Reticle System lets each reticle monitor the other and thus allows for: one shot zeroing in, "at a glance" verification of the original zero, and visual confirmation of windage and elevation adjustments before you shoot. The Shepherd is truly the most reliable of all and the only one to tell you if something is out of zero before you shoot.

A very interesting day at the Dolphins training facility in Davie today, as owner Stephen Ross, general manager Jeff Ireland, and head coach Tony Sparano sat with a media contingency in a conference room to discuss everything that has been going on in recent days.
Ross began the discussion with a lengthy opening statement that was highlighted by, among other things, his reiteration that his #1 priority is to bring a winner to Miami.

Gator Baseball Gets Series Win Over Maryland
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – No. 20 Florida (2-1) overcame a 3-0 deficit with a four-run second and a three-run fifth en route to an 8-5 win over Maryland (1-2) to claim the rubber game of the teams' series on Sundayafternoon at McKethan Stadium. The game was shortened to eight innings due to the Terps' travel schedule. Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan's club has now captured all seven season-opening series in his tenure.
Junior Taylor Gushue (Boca Raton, Fla.) (1-for-3) snapped a 3-3 tie with a two-run single and also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Sophomore Eric Hanhold (Palm Harbor, Fla.) (1-0) notched his first career triumph by tossing three scoreless innings, while junior Ryan Harris (Jupiter, Fla.) collected his first career save by having UMD senior Blake Schmit (2-for-5) ground out to end the game with a pair of runners aboard. The Gators drew a season-high nine walks.
Maryland plated three runs on three hits in the opening frame against redshirt junior right-hander Karsten Whitson (Chipley, Fla.). Junior Charlie White led off the game with a walk, was sacrificed to second by freshman Brandon Lowe and scored on a two-out RBI single into left field by sophomore Kevin Martir (2-for-5). Schmit followed with a run-scoring double into left center field and sophomore Anthony Papio (2-for-2) walked before freshman Mike Rescigno had a ground-rule double that brought home Schmit.
The Gators answered in the bottom of the inning on a sacrifice fly by Gushue to get on the scoreboard. Sophomore Richie Martin (Brandon, Fla.) (2-for-3) and freshman Ryan Larson (Orlando, Fla.) opened with consecutive walks from sophomore righty Jared Price (0-1) and moved into scoring position on a swinging bunt by sophomore Casey Turgeon (Palm Harbor, Fla.). Gushue's fly ball went to the warning track in right field.
Florida erupted for four runs on three walks, two hits and a hit batter in the second to seize a 5-3 lead. Martin lofted a bases-loaded sac fly into center to bring home junior Zack Powers (Seffner, Fla.), who had drawn a leadoff walk, and Turgeon tied the game by being plunked by freshman reliever Jake Drossner with the bases full. Gushue moved the Gators in front by stroking a two-run single through the left side of the infield.
UF tallied three runs in the fifth, highlighted by RBI doubles from freshman A.J. Puk (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) and Martin, to build an 8-3 advantage. Junior Braden Mattson (San Antonio, Texas) started the inning with his second walk of the contest and came around on Puk's first career RBI. With two down, Martin rifled a double down the left-field line that plated Puk, stole third and scored on a fielding error on the relay throw.
After Hanhold had three scoreless innings in relief of Whitson, Maryland pulled within 8-4 in the sixth on a run-scoring grounder by Lowe. Junior Justin Shafer (Lake Wales, Fla.) struck out the first two batters of the eighth before yielding a double to Lowe and a single to sophomore LaMonte Wade. An infield RBI single by Martir reduced the Terps' deficit to three runs and Harris came out of the bullpen to complete the contest.
Postgame Quotes
Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan:
On battling after a rough start today and getting the series victory:
"There were a lot of positive things to pull out from today like there were yesterday and the bottom line is that we have a series win. We knew Maryland was a quality opponent; we had a chance to get Karsten (Whitson) back on the mound - it's been an awfully long time. He was one pitch away from getting out of the first (inning) and other than that there were a lot of quality pitches he threw. As a staff, the first few games, we made numerous 0-2 mistakes and we'll talk about that. But, other than that one pitch, I thought he threw the ball well. I wasn't really sure on what his pitch count was going to be, I just know that he had made a lot of stressful pitches there in the first two innings and I wanted him to leave on a good note. It was really good to get him back out there."
"I thought (Eric) Hanhold kept things kind of at bay but you have got to credit Maryland hitters; they were scrappy. They were hard to strike out and they competed obviously, all the way to the last out of the game there. (Justin) Shafer came in there and did a nice job and obviously Ryan (Harris) did a nice job. I was really pleased with our offense today. I thought we swung the bat much better; we only got seven hits but we did hit a lot of balls hard, our offense was better but there's obviously a lot of room for improvement."
On how Taylor Gushue's big hit that started things off for Florida:
"We were looking for that big hit, and that (Gushue's single to left field in the second inning) was obviously a big hit at that point in the game. Like I said, I was pleased with how A.J. (Puk) swung the bat - I think we had four freshmen in the lineup today. Braden Mattson was a new addition and I thought he had a good day at the plate as well. We put a lot of younger guys in there; I think inevitably we knew we would get a lot of these freshmen in there. After yesterday's game, where it was kind of stale offensively, we thought that we needed to get some of those new guys in there."
Sophomore shortstop Richie Martin:
On coming back after being down early:
"We fell down 3-0 in the first inning, but we bounced right back and scored a run right there. We swung the bats well and it was a great team win. It was great to get the series."

The Graphics Window: Effective and Beautiful Postprocessing
Lexi Carver March 19, 2014
Using the Graphics window in COMSOL Multiphysics can be a little tricky if you're not too familiar with what it can do. But once you know the shortcuts, controlling the camera and view angles to create good graphics becomes quite straightforward. I hope the techniques shown here will help you produce graphics to visualize and present your work more easily.Read More

What do heated soap bubbles, wavy clouds, and Jupiter's Great Red Spot have in common? Their formation depends on the dynamics of the shear layer existing between two parallel streams moving at different velocities. This unstable motion, called Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, is ubiquitous and plays an important role in the dynamics of climate, for example. Let's take a closer look at the onset and evolution of this instability with the help of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis.Read More

Have you ever wondered why boaters wear polarized sunglasses? It's because sunlight reflecting off the water is primarily polarized in one direction, and polarized sunglasses will block this component of the reflected light, thus reducing glare. To understand why this is, we can use COMSOL software. This example solves the governing Maxwell's equations using the RF Module or Wave Optics Module to simulate light incident at an angle upon a dielectric medium, and the solution shows agreement with analytic solutions.Read More

State Superintendent of Education John White on Thursday hosted a discussion at Sowela Technical Community College for community members regarding plans to streamline and change the state's high school diplomas. (Lance Traweek / American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, June 13, 2013 7:39 PM
By Lance Traweek / American Press
The state Education Department wants to improve the routes to a high school diploma and set up students for success — in furthering their educations and in finding good jobs close to home, said state Superintendent of Education John White.
Students now have the option of three diplomas, he said: the "core four diploma," which prepares them for a four-year university; the "basic diploma," which doesn't qualify them for TOPS; and the "career diploma," which only prepares them for customer service jobs.
White on Thursday hosted an open forum at Sowela Technical Community College on plans to streamline and change the state's high school diploma setup.
He said the plans include making the career diploma criteria more rigorous in an effort to give more students the opportunity for high-paying careers. And, White said, he wants to create more flexibility by allowing students to change their paths halfway through high school.
"We need to do more to prepare kids for real jobs that exist in the Lake Charles-Southwest Louisiana area, so that if they're not getting a four-year college degree they're getting something that makes them successful and is the path to the middle class," White said after the meeting.
He said industry in the region is "ready to roll."
"People here know that they're kids are going to need jobs in the technical workforce," White said. "This economy is not kind to students who only have a high school diploma."
School systems will be using the new framework by fall 2016, he said, and those that can get it done faster are encouraged to do so.
Wayne Savoy, Calcasieu Parish school superintendent, said he is on board with the plan.
"I come from a blue-collar family," he said after the meeting. "I know how important having a trade is, and I know how important an education is. If we can provide opportunities for children in Calcasieu Parish, that's what I want to do."
Neil Aspinwall, Sowela chancellor, said the diploma changes are good because they will be in response to the needs of business and industry. He said the program would need to be "credible, viable and legitimate."
"The majority of the jobs — not just in Southwest Louisiana but in the country in general — require more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year degree, so this is a great way to get our students involved quickly in the workforce," Aspinwall said after the meeting.
Teri Johnson, president of the Calcasieu Federation of Teachers, said the concept is "very valid," especially for Southwest Louisiana with its projected economic boom.
"For some reason the marketing of the career diploma hasn't been up to par," Johnson said after the meeting.
"There's been an injustice done to that particular pathway. There are kids who know they want to work with their hands. Giving this region the flexibility is a great concept, but the devil is in the details."

"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
That wasn't the time nor the place for a Kill Shot. I'll give credit to Coughlin for admitting it wasn't his best call.
Given the down, the distance, the score, the time on the clock..... the right call is a running play, or else a play-action, high percentage pass underneath to Bennett if he's open....if not, throw the ball away to stop the clock.
Coughlin is a great coach, and he learns from his mistakes. That won't happen again under his watch.
I was thinking this morning that this team does rely on the big play a little too much.

I was left with several pounds of cappings this weekend from my harvest and decided to build a basket to fit in the extractor to spin them out. I looked on catalogs and while I know you can buy radial conversion baskets, I was suprised to see that there aren't ready made capping baskets available.
Anyone else cobbled together a basket (or sell a drop in basket for regular extractors)? I used stainless gutter guard mesh for the "wall".

This story begins about this time last year when I was in Adelaide at Tasting Australia. As well as meeting one of my food heroines, Maggie Beer, we were treated like royalty and given the opportunity to experience the many delights of this fabulous food and wine region.
The Coriole Vineyard in McLaren Vale produces wine, olive oils, vinegars and verjuice. Owner Mark Lloyd took us through an olive oil tasting, a first for me.
It was fascinating. I was made aware of the great variation between different olive varieties (flavour and colour), the qualities required for an olive oil to be deemed extra virgin, a history of olive oil production in Australia and how the industry regulates itself.
Also last year, Consumer magazine did a comparative taste test of olive oils on sale in New Zealand, with some rather startling results. Various oils bought off the shelf, labelled extra virgin, did not meet the criteria. Oils were found to be rancid, many had no production dates on their labels, and on it went.
Olive oil is a living product and must be treated with respect. Heat (supermarket lighting, warm places) and light (clear glass bottles) will deteriorate the product, and while being okay at point of production the oil may suffer if it is displayed or stored incorrectly.
I decided to check out some common oils, all easily available. My panel comprised Rachael Speedy, an olive oil distributor at NZ Premium Foods, Aldo di Cesare from Art of Produce, a man with a fine Italian palate and, Volker Marecek, executive chef at Langham Hotel. They sat out in my garden and blind-tasted the oils (with a slice of apple to clear the palate between tastes).
The taste test
I bought nine extra virgin olive oils from retail shelves the day before the test and stored them in a dark, cool place overnight.
I opened each bottle half an hour before the tasting, decanting some of each oil into a glass bottle.
The tasters had no idea of the brands they were tasting; I used only numbers to identify them. Each oil was tasted by each panelist, they conferred and had to reach a consensus before recording their collective result. Some oils had to be tasted several times before agreement was reached.
The results
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVO) must exhibit the characteristics of an EVO to be so deemed.
One fault and it can not be classified as such.
It needs to be used within two years of production. Labelling should include press date, bottling date and batch number. It should also include a production date, and a best before or use by date .
The bottle should be dark in colour.
In Italy, oil will be described as New Season, Old Season and Third Season, distinguishing the just-pressed from that made in the previous two years.
These are our experts' assessments.
Dress it up
Many of my good cook friends have jars of bought mayo and vinaigrette in their fridges.
So do I, although I don't buy ready-made salad dressings. Instead, I like to splash some oil directly on the ingredients I have mixed together for the salad, sharpen it up with a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss it all about.
You can ring the changes with different oils - olive, avocado, nut oils or flavoured oils.
Making your own mayo or vinaigrette gives you a lot of creative options.
Apart from the different flavours found in different oils, there are numerous types of vinegar to choose from to add the sharp acidic notes. Think balsamic, tarragon, red wine, raspberry, sherry, Champagne or your own infused vinegars.
You can also incorporate garlic, fresh snipped herbs, finely zested citrus skin or mustards.
Here are the two classic recipes - it's over to you to give them your signature:
• Classic mayonnaise
• Classic vinaigrette

Team returns home safely after being involved in deadly crash
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - A local baseball team is home safely after being involved in a fatal crash on a Florida highway.
We're told the Elizabethton Twins were on their way home from extended spring training in Fort Meyers, Florida when their bus collided with a car driving in the wrong direction.
As 33 players and staff members of the Elizabethton Twins pulled into Riverside Park Tuesday afternoon and unloaded for a new season, it was a different kind of reunion for host mom Mary Lewis.
"You didn't tell me!" Lewis said as she hugged one of the players.
That's because nearly the entire team was involved in a deadly crash on interstate 295 in Jacksonville, Florida.
"I'm very grateful to see everybody; all of them. I'm just glad for their safety," said Lewis.
Pitching coach Henry Bonilla had a front row seat around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday when officials said a Honda Civic started driving on the interstate in the wrong direction.
Bonilla said it happened no more than five minutes after the bus got back on to the interstate after changing drivers.
"I still have the image in my head [of] the headlights being maybe 15 feet away; that they're right right in front of us," Bonilla said.
Bonilla told News 5 their driver, Pete, did the best he could to swerve out of the way.
"The next thing you know the guy was really booking it towards us. Pete just yells, 'Oh my God! Hold on guys,'" Bonilla described.
Moments later, Bonilla said the vehicles crashed.
Florida Highway Patrol officials said the driver of the Honda Civic was killed.
While no one on the bus was hurt, there was immediate concern at home.
"We regret the loss of life anytime that occurs but our guys, [it's] good that they're back here with us, and we look forward to Thursday night, our first game," said Mike Mains, the general manager of the Elizabethton Twins.
Bonilla said many of the players were shaken up after the accident, but he said the experience could end up helping them on the field.
"It's not the way you want to bond as a team, but it'll bond them together. You know, they were all watching out for each other [and] talking to each other," said Bonilla.
Like any mother, Mary Lewis will comfort all she can knowing her boys of summer are home safe and sound.
"They are my family," Lewis said lovingly.
Another fact we learned:
The team had to be transferred on to a new bus after the crash to make their way home. It was a minor inconvenience after what could have been an even costlier accident.

and I am really apologize for my "lecture" and not appropriate personal attack on you. I was not aware that chlorine-gas is still in use in US. If chlorine-gas is in use, your argument is very good - if they could use military combatant gas in drinking water, than of coarse they could use neonics on bees.... it is fair argument, you won this battle. Again, my sincere apology for not-nice post to everyone, who was affected. Sergey

No, that's not right. Neonicotinoids were created in the late 70s or early 80s, and first entered the market in about 1990. Imidacloprid specifically entered the market in 1992. Its use increased rapidly. The amount used in the US peaked in 2003, dropped back each year until 2009, and started increasing again in 2010.I think it's suspicious in the extreme that neonics came on to the market in 2003 and CCD got its recognition in 2006. -praxis178
The amount used in 2006 was very similar to the amount used in 2000.
don't worry about it sergery. spirited discussion and debate are what makes this forum great.
my point of view has been changed from time to time thanks to the willingness of those here that are willing to share theirs.
the only thing that i find difficult to accept is when someone takes a position but cannot offer a reasonable underlying rationale for it.
and when competing rationales are offered, and at the end of the day, we all get to decide for ourselves what our personal take is.
welcome to america!

I really think that is what is being discussed here. various people have there various views and each chooses how to present that view. that is fine.
The opinion that catches my attention is the one that says. "I want proof they are a problem" Yet that very same person sees no need for proof they are safe. that is inconsistent. This inconsistency catches my attention. it raises a bit of a red flag. It does not make since to me and I will admit I still have not made since of it. It just does not fit.
The same requirement they claim to have for showing that pesticides do harm bees they have a total lack of requirement for them to be shown safe. So I know one thing they are not concerned with proof of any kind. they just say they are. Now so that others do not think such a person is a total ogar. I will say this could happen simply because someone really wants to believe there is now a safe alternative. they may genuinely see that thing are better now than they where. It could be a primidonna type opinion that things will be better. It comes from the same genuine concern for the honey bee as every other opinion. it is just formed from different choices as to what to believe or not. I believe actions. I believe results. Results indicate better than anything else what can be expected next. The factual events is Neonics have only been evaluated by obviously unreliable sources. and by unreliable tests. Why the need for unreliable if in fact they are safe? I don't think all these shady things happened by accident and I don't think they happened without reasons. They in fact acted in this way. they in fact made these choices. and there is in fact reason for those decisions. and I don't think bad decisions are made to achieve good results. They made shady choices because they are in fact trying to pull a fast one. and that is all the proof I need. All that is left to do is dig in and find out what they are really up to. and no way it will be good.

This is where we differ - there have been, IMO, reliable tests from very reliable sources that show that neonics are so much better than the organophosphates, both for humans and for bees.The factual events is Neonics have only been evaluated by obviously unreliable sources. and by unreliable tests.
I'm not sure what you believe to be "reliable" versus "unreliable." Neonicotinoids certainly do pose threats to bees, as well as almost every other insect. The problem to me comes from the emphatic assertions that "neonicotinoids cause CCD." I see no cause-and-effect link. They almost certainly contribute to problems, maybe even contribute to CCD, but they do not seem to be the single cause.The factual events is Neonics have only been evaluated by obviously unreliable sources. and by unreliable tests. -Daniel Y
Maybe you term me as "unreliable." Not much I can do about that if you do. A few years ago, I was involved in some pesticide research as part of a job I had. I worked with any number of insecticides, mostly to determine efficacies, rates, and even assess some new products that were not (and some still are not) on the market. The position was a government position, was not funded by chemical companies, and some of the research demonstrated that products did not always work as intended. Not only that, some of the insecticides were not effective against the target insects as they were labeled for application.
Back in 2007, as part of a post in a thread here on Beesource, I posted this:
The thread can be found here, if anyone is interested: http://www.beesource.com/forums/show...=neonicotinoidJust to give some more specific information, some of the test plots where different insecticides are compared are less than one mile from one of my bee yards. I have helped apply pesticides to those plots for the last two years, usually spraying some of bees in the process. Those bees have been sprayed with almost every form of neonicotinoid on the market, most forms of pyrethroids available, organophosphates, carbamates, and so on. While I have witnessed some pesticide poisoning among those bees from time to time, I have not lost any other those hives to pesticide poisoning or to CCD. Nothing statistical about those observations, but they do pretty well eliminate the simple "cause-and-effect" idea about neonicotinoids and CCD. Not only were those bees exposed to low doses of neonicotinoids, they were exposed to high doses (foliar applications, made while the bees were working), and for two consecutive years. -Kieck
Those fields included test plots treated with every neonicotinoid on the market as seed treatments and as foliar treatments, as well as a wide range of classes of insecticides. It included insecticides that have yet to reach the market and maybe never will. I left that job in 2009.
As of yet, I have not seen first-hand anything that could realistically be considered CCD. I consider myself fortunate, but I am also convinced by this that it is not a simple cause-and-effect of neonicotinoids (or other pesticides). If it was, it should not have failed to appear in those hives. Those were the only managed hives within four miles of the test plots, and almost certainly the source of the bees that I observed in those plots while spraying.
I've posted this before, but it really summarizes what I think causes most problems with our bees. Do insecticides play a part, I believe so. But also fungicides, miticides, etc. But virus issues, vectored by varroa are the real culprit. IMO, keep varroa under control and the other issues are manageable.

Recent losses in honey bee colonies are unusual in their severity, geographical distribution, and, in some cases, failure to present recognized characteristics of known disease. Domesticated honey bees face numerous pests and pathogens, tempting hypotheses that colony collapses arise from exposure to new or resurgent pathogens. Here we explore the incidence and abundance of currently known honey bee pathogens in colonies suffering from Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), otherwise weak colonies, and strong colonies from across the United States. Although pathogen identities differed between the eastern and western United States, there was a greater incidence and abundance of pathogens in CCD colonies. Pathogen loads were highly covariant in CCD but not control hives, suggesting that CCD colonies rapidly become susceptible to a diverse set of pathogens, or that co-infections can act synergistically to produce the rapid depletion of workers that characterizes the disorder. We also tested workers from a CCD-free apiary to confirm that significant positive correlations among pathogen loads can develop at the level of individual bees and not merely as a secondary effect of CCD. This observation and other recent data highlight pathogen interactions as important components of bee disease. Finally, we used deep RNA sequencing to further characterize microbial diversity in CCD and non-CCD hives. We identified novel strains of the recently described Lake Sinai viruses (LSV) and found evidence of a shift in gut bacterial composition that may be a biomarker of CCD. The results are discussed with respect to host-parasite interactions and other environmental stressors of honey bees.

I agree with you on that one Camero. Even if my goal was to develop treatment free stock, once I get there, I'm going to work in a Fall mite treatment to start spring as clean as possible as needed. Harboring pests/vectors with your resistant/tolerant lines is just askiing for them to break it and I think a few people have experienced similar situations last year/this year where they were comfortable with seeing mites and some DWV with no issues in the past, now they've lost a good percentage of their hives and are seriously rethinking that strategy of just letting it go. Other factors could be in play though, but I think controlling your vectors is key, most resistances/tolerance have a threshold and bees are too dynamic to rely on any one strategy IMO.
good stuff, thanks ya'll.

I will correct my comment and remove the "Only" Since it is impossible for me to know every study made of these pesticides. I should have said the only studies I know of where done by unreliable sources. mainly allowing Bayer to test their own products.
I also do not agree there is enough evidence to say these pesticides are the sole cause of anything.
Consider this though. Neonicotinoids is just a fancy pants way of saying Nicotine. Since when is that considered harmless?

How much nicotine is present when we smoke our bees?
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
Okay, that last one is an example of just how far off conjuncture can get. Nicotine is a chemical present in the tobacco. tobacco actually produces it. This does not mean that everything that smokes has nicotine in it. The truth is it is not the nicotine in tobacco that is bad. it is all the other garbage they put in it to make commercial cigarettes. but that is another very long discussion.
Anyway the amount of nicotine when you smoke your bees will depend on the amount of nicotine in the material you are burning. Nicotine will survive being burned. it will survive passing through a plant is it grows. it will remain in the nectar and it will survive the process of being made into honey. It will also remain in your bee. The reason you cannot detect it is because you cannot separate it from what it is bonded to in order to detect it. One way to come up with clean tests is to test in a way that cannot possible show any result but negative. You know that little question sheet they give you at the end of a training. that one that you cannot possibly fail. they call that a test also.

One of the essential lessons I've gleaned from the magazine Martha Stewart Living is that if you put together a collection of junk that's all the same color (or maybe two colors), it's almost always interesting to look at.
Sure, Martha is the MacGyver of home decorating — she can turn a stick of gum, some pocket lint, and a paper clip into a smashing holiday centerpiece. And her publications always reminds me of the allure of photographing with a shallow depth of field, so that only the thing you're looking at is in focus and everything else goes seductively blurry. But in the end, her decorating style comes down to colors — the fewer the prettier.
I was reminded of this the other day when I visited the sharp exhibit "Cornucopia: Documenting the Land of Plenty" at Montserrat College of Art. The centerpiece is New Yorker Portia Munson's Green Piece: Lawn (2007), a heap of (mostly) plastic junk that fills a rectangle in the middle of the gallery floor. The stuff is attractively old and broken and tired — artificial trees and plants, a toy tractor, lawn furniture, a sled, a boot, water bottles, trash barrels, motor oil, a can of bug spray, hair-conditioner jugs, toy frogs, and alligators and dinosaurs. What makes it magnetic is that everything is green — all different shades of green.
"Cornucopia," a five-artist show organized by Montserrat curator Leonie Bradbury, is a portrait of America as a super-acquisitive consumer society. The artists themselves seem to have a love/hate relationship with all our shiny junk. An air of doom hovers over the proceedings — the focus is frequently the beauty of ruins. September 11 is evoked by way of President Bush's efforts to maintain confidence in the US economy after the attack on the World Trade Center (and thus a symbolic attack on America's world trade): "I encourage you all to go shopping more." Also addressed are our global-warming-era fears of the toxic consequences of our mass-produced, synthetic, artificially flavored, technologically manipulated society.
And so Munson's Green Piece (Greenpeace, get it?) mulls "green" as a code word for all that is eco-friendly — and increasingly "green" as in profitable, as well. It touches on all the contradictions and questions and feelings of duty and guilt that the label "green" now raises. A lawn, she notes, is just one more human mutation of nature. Her acid punch line: at the center of the junk sits a green plastic Waste Management recycling bin.
South Korean artist JeongMee Yoon's four photographs from her "Pink and Blue Project" depict little kids with all their pink (for girls) or blue (for boys) stuff neatly laid out around them. There's blue action figures, superheroes, weapons, and balls for boys, pink baby dolls, bows, stuffed animals, and toy dishes for girls. Again the photos are attractive because of the limited colors. It's as if the kids' whole world were pink or blue — the kids are even dressed in pink or blue. The images attest to the force and pervasiveness of gender indoctrination in our society. But the photo that sticks with me is Seohyun and Her Pink Things (2007), because Seohyun flashes this big smile. She seems incredibly happy.

Facebook IPO $28-$35 A Share; 'Sympathy' Plays SVVC, ZNGA GSVC Fall
Today, Facebook said in a filing that it will offer 180 million Class A common shares for $28-$35. Selling stockholders plan to sell another 157.4 million shares as part of the deal.
The IPO could raise as much as $11.8 billion for the company, and would value the company at roughly $85 billion to $95 billion, the Wall Street Journal is reporting. The reported price would make it the most valuable U.S. Web company at the time of an IPO, giving it a market capitalization just below giants like Amazon (AMZN) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).
However, that figure is below the $100-$110 billion some were originally expecting. Some "sympathy plays" that had been trading up in anticipation of the IPO were down in recent trading, including Firsthand Technology Value Fund (SVVC), GSV Capital (GSVC) and Zynga, Inc. (ZNGA), as StreetInsider.com noted. Jive (JIVE) was the subject of a recent article criticizing the bump in price it has seen largely due to Facebook, rather than fundamental.

It's been a couple of years since I posted a list of software for storing your inventory and contact lists. Not a lot has changed, but it's time to post an update.
From the resources section of I'd Rather Be in the Studio:
- Flick! (Mac & PC)*
- eArtist (Mac & PC)*
- Working Artist (PC only)
- GYST (Mac & PC)
- Artist's Butler (Mac & PC)
- Art & Craft Business Organizer (PC only)
- Bento (Mac only)* – NOTE: Bento is not an art management platform, but a general database. Therefore, it requires formatting–unlike the others here. Because of this, you can use it for all of your database needs-not just for your art inventory or contacts. Also, because of this, you can personalize it and make it look however you like. And there are templates available.
Based on feedback I receive from artists, I speculate that those marked with a * are still the top three inventory-mailing list databases. They will keep track of your inventory, sales, and contacts.
I'm sure there are new players every day. If you have one to offer to this list, please leave it in a comment.
If you use one of these programs, help other artists out by telling why you like it and what you wish it did better/differently.

Re: Soup's on!!
Montana, they're the same bean, but processed differently. Limas are picked, then sold fresh, canned or frozen. Butter beans are limas that are picked, then dried, then cooked, canned or frozen. you cannot buy a fresh butter bean.

Re: Soup's on!!
Great thread! Soup is the mother of all foods (in my opinion, that is)
I learned this soup from a Turkish friend. It is easy, yummy and hearty enough to make a meal out of it.
2 cups red lentils
1,5 litres chicken or vegetable stock
3 sprigs flat leaf parsley
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp dried mint
1 big onion, in pieces
2 potatoes, in small pieces
1 tsp chilli paste, or red curry paste, or Tom Yam paste, or harissa...
3 garlic cloves, in slices
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
Heat up butter and olive oil in a soup pan and add the onion and garlic. Sweat for a few minutes, then add the tomato paste. Fry for about 5 minutes, keep stirring or it will stick. Add the chilli paste, dried mint and potatoes and fry for another 3 minutes or so. Add the lentils, mix well. Add the stock, salt, parsley and bay leaf.
Stir every now and then and bring to a boil. Let is simmer for about 15 minutes, until the lentils are soft. Take the parsley and bay leaf our off the pan.
Serve with a wedge of lemon on the side and sprinkled with fresh parsley. The lemon juice can be added as much as you like.
The soup tastes best when it is about 1 day old, so make lots to enjoy it a few days in a row.

Re: Soup's on!!
Great soups so far,everybody!
Mon,this is a good time to start this thread! Warms my heart when I see the recipes (though it ALREADY is warm enough in sunny ol' Singapore...we were having rain for a few days and suddenly the clouds parted and it's blazing HOT!!).

Re: Soup's on!!
Your soup sounds wonderful - I adore lentils.
Question though :?:
Do you tried lentils, or do you soak them over night? Lentils usually take about 30-45 minutes to cook and your soup seems take about 15 minutes.
Just wanted to clarify so I don't muck it up the first time around!
Reminds me of another soup I'll post later today with lentils - let me write it down, or I may forget!
Thanks Stef

Re: Soup's on!!
Another lentil recipe:
2oz red lentils
2oz dried apricots
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 pints good stock (chicken or vegetables)
salt and pepper to taste
2 handfuls chopped parsley
Put all the ingredients except the parsley in a big saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer until the lentils are cooked through (about 30 - 40 mins). Remove from the heat and puree thoroughly, reheat and just before serving stir in the parsley.
I love this one's unusual taste and texture, and no-one guesses that there are apricots in it.

Re: Soup's on!!
Heres one ive found
750g shallots, peeled and chopped
4 large cooking onions, peeled and sliced
olive oil
4 cooking apples, peeled, cored, sliced
120g butter
250ml dry cider
1.5l chicken stock
550ml double cream
salt and black pepper
2 peeled and crushed garlic cloves
chives, chopped, for garnish
cook onion, garlic and shallot in a little olive oil and butter in a heavy bottomed pan. Do NOT brown. Add most of the apples and all the cider, simmer until reduced. Add the stock and cream and simmer for 30 mins. Cool slightly, puree in a food processor and pass through a sieve. Return to the pan and bring to boil. Season with salt and pepper. Fry remaining apples until golden.
garnish soup with croutons, chives and fried apple.

Brookwood breaking barriers
It has been a season of successes for the Brookwood football program.
After a 2-7 season in 2012, the Falcons captured the Scenic Bluffs Conference Championship.
They are preparing for their first ever WIAA Level 3 playoff game when they travel to Darlington on Saturday.
Even the Green Bay Packers have taken notice, naming head coach Doug Brieske the Green Bay Packers High School Coach of the Week.
"This is huge," said Brieske. "It means a lot to the team and a lot to the school and especially the team and the community too. It's just a great accomplishment for everybody."
"Since I've been playing we have never even been close to winning conference and this year we just have a solid core," said senior Paul Ryan. "We all knew we had a way better team this year. We have way better leaders this year and that carries your team everywhere."
The deep playoff run made for an extremely exciting weekend for Brookwood junior Billy Nusse.
On Friday night he played in the Falcons' 27-7 victory over Iowa-Grant.
Following the game he drove up to Wisconsin Rapids to take his spot on the state qualifying Brookwood cross country team. Nusse finished 87th overall as Brookwood placed 9th as a team.
"Waking up early kind of takes a toll on you," said Nusse who woke up early to get his cross country work in throughout the fall.
"But after you get used to it, it's not bad. Coach Brieske helped me out through the whole thing. Doing it last year too that helped and it wasn't bad last year so I just thought I would do it again."
