Taste Of Grandma's Kitchen: We Hack An Old Ketchup Recipe
Editor's Note: This post is part of All Things Considered's Found Recipes project.
Although Heinz may dominate the ketchup scene, 100 years ago it wasn't uncommon to make your own at home. So why bother doing so now, when you can just buy the bottles off the shelf? At least one man, Jim Ledvinka, was motivated by nostalgia.
"Oh, yes — we remember my grandmother making ketchup. And it was quite a sight to behold," Ledvinka says.
Ledvinka now lives in Athens, Ga., but he grew up outside of Chicago with his younger sister Joanne in the 1940s and '50s. Every year their grandmother Antoinette Ledvinka would commandeer the kitchen for a marathon, no-nonsense ketchup-making session that lasted several days.
"I remember the huge pot of ketchup simmering on the stove," Joanne Ledvinka says. "The coloring was a little bit different; it was more of a brown, not a red."
The color wasn't the only thing that made grandma's homemade ketchup "special."
"We hated it," Jim says. Joanne also was not a fan. "That ketchup did not come anywhere near the meatloaf," she says.
Jim says his grandma's version didn't taste nice and sweet. It was thin, a little runny, and it had a strong taste that was both spicy and vinegary — at least, that was their impression as children. But when Jim grew up a little bit, he had a very different reaction.
"Mother opened a jar of my grandmother's ketchup. I tried it, and I said, 'This is great! [Was I] crazy or something?' It was sort of like, all of a sudden, a revelation that comes when you have adult taste buds," he says.
Unfortunately, his appreciation came too late. It was Grandma Ledvinka's last batch of ketchup — canned in 1958, shortly before her death.
Jim Ledvinka is now himself a grandfather. Thinking about his grumpy grandma — and her spicy ketchup — he wrote to NPR's Found Recipes project for help re-creating the ketchup of his memories. We connected him with Kaela Porter, who writes the Local Kitchen food blog.
"I'm hardly an expert," Porter says. "I've actually made classic tomato ketchup once."
She notes that ketchup is technically a fruit butter. The name "butter" comes from the fact that is spreadable, like butter.
"I have made dozens and dozens of fruit butters, and they're simple recipes. You take some fruit, and add some sugar, and cook it way, way down," she says.
Porter says the recipe for ketchup hasn't changed in a long time; all versions use the same basics of tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and some spices. But it's the spices that can vary the most.
After chatting back and forth with Porter over email, the first big break in Ledvinka's "ketchup quest" came when she asked him a very basic question: Did his grandmother have any cookbooks that she used? In a flash, it came to him — The Settlement Cook Book (The Way to a Man's Heart).
To find out if it contained his grandmother's ketchup, Ledvinka downloaded two editions of the cookbook and bought a physical copy from a book dealer. He compared the versions and determined that his grandmother had likely improvised from the 1903 edition of the cookbook.
He then bought several pounds of ripe, beefsteak tomatoes, cooked them down to a thickened sauce, and did experiments with various combinations of spices. Over the course of two weeks, Ledvinka made five different batches and took meticulous notes.
He invited friends over to taste test — most preferred the milder and sweeter versions he made early on. But his sister, Joanne, loved the spicy final result.
"It's very robust," she says. "You can taste the tomato and you can taste these wonderful spices, particularly the clove and the cinnamon. I just enjoy the heck out it."
Joanne said it was even better than grandma's. Jim dubbed his adapted recipe "Bohemian Ketchup" in honor of Antoinette Ledvinka's Bohemian ancestry.
Jim says the tart and heavy clove flavor might not be anyone else's ideal ketchup, but he still loves it — though he remembers grandma's version having an even more intense clove flavor.
He's since poured his homemade ketchup over meatloaf and hamburgers — anything with ground beef. But now he needs more. This summer, as tomatoes turn red, ripe and juicy, Ledvinka will be back in the kitchen making ketchup, just like his grandma used to do.
Recipe: Bohemian Ketchup
This is Jim Ledvinka's take on his grandmother's recipe, adapted from The Settlement Cook Book (The Way to a Man's Heart), 1903. Canning is optional if you won't use it up right away.
- 1/2 bushel ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 2 tsp. red pepper (cayenne)
- 3 cups cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp. salt
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp. ground allspice
- 1 tbsp. ground cloves
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 4 tbsp. dry mustard
- 2 tbsp. Lea & Perrins Sauce
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
1. Remove bad parts from the tomatoes. Wash and quarter them and add them to a very large stock pot, along with the onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Crush that mixture a bit to provide some liquid. Bring to a slow simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool.
2. Run the contents of the stock pot in batches through a food mill. The old-fashioned kind of food mill with a fixed fine disk works best.
3. Return the milled mixture to the stock pot and simmer very slowly (to keep the tomatoes from burning), until the volume is reduced by about one-half. It should have the consistency of thick tomato sauce. This step may take six to twelve hours, maybe more, depending on the tomato variety. Let cool.
4. Run the contents of the stock pot in batches through a blender.
5. Return the mixture to the stock pot and bring to a simmer until the mixture is the consistency of commercial catsup. This step may take six hours or more.
6. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a simmer, and reduce to the desired consistency.
7. Prepare a canner with jars and and lids sufficient for about 8 - 10 pints of catsup: Fill canner with water to at least 1 inch above tops of jars, and add a little vinegar. Bring to boil for 15 mins. Place lids, funnel, tongs, and ladle in saucepan with water, bring to a low simmer.
8. Use the tongs to remove the jars and lids one at a time from the canner, pouring the jar water back into the canner. Fill each hot jar with catsup, leaving 1/2-inch of head space. Wipe the rims of the jars, affix the lid, screw the band on finger tight, and return to the canner. Replace the lid on the canner and process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Remove jars from canner, listen for a ping as the catsup cools and the lid pops into place. Test the seal by pressing down on the lid; it should not give. Let the jars rest until cool. Store in a dark place.
It's been a while since we've had a lost recipe on the program. That's where we help solve listeners' culinary mysteries by teaming them up with kitchen detectives. Now that tomatoes are in season, NPR's Melissa Gray has a lost recipe that's ripe for the picking.
MELISSA GRAY, BYLINE: It's about ketchup, homemade ketchup, and, yes, people once routinely made their own ketchup. Remember the opening scene of the movie "Meet Me in St. Louis" set in 1903?
MARY ASTOR: (as Mrs. Anna Smith) Best ketchup we ever made, Katie.
MARJORIE MAIN: ( as Katie) Too sweet.
ASTOR: (as Mrs. Anna Smith) Mr. Smith likes it on the sweet side.
MAIN: (as Katie) All men like it on the sweet side. Too sweet, Mrs. Smith.
GRAY: Hmm. Hot and steamy business, that ketchup making, so why bother if you can just buy the bottles off the shelf? Well, maybe because making ketchup makes you nostalgic.
JIM LEDVINKA: Oh, yes, we remember my grandmother making ketchup, and it was quite a sight to behold.
GRAY: That's listener Jim Ledvinka of Athens, Georgia. He and his younger sister, Joanne, grew up outside of Chicago in the '40s and '50s where every year their grandmother, Antoinette Ledvinka, would commandeer the kitchen. No smiles. She was all business.
LEDVINKA: The whole kitchen was given over to ketchup for several days. Huge amounts of equipment.
JOANNE LEDVINKA: I remember the huge pot of ketchup simmering on the stove. The coloring was a little bit different. It was more of a brown, not a red.
GRAY: And the color wasn't the only thing that made Grandma's homemade ketchup special.
LEDVINKA: We hated it.
LEDVINKA: It was not my favorite.
GRAY: Which is to say it wasn't Heinz.
LEDVINKA: That ketchup did not come anywhere near the meatloaf.
LEDVINKA: Well, it didn't taste nice and sweet. Sometimes, it was runny. It tasted very strong, sort of spicy, sort of sour, vinegary.
GRAY: That's when they were kids. But when Jim became a young man, he had a very different reaction.
LEDVINKA: Mother opened a jar of my grandmother's ketchup. I tried it and I said, this is great. Are you crazy or something? It was sort of like all of a sudden a revelation that comes when you have adult taste buds.
GRAY: Alas, this appreciation came too late. It was Grandma Ledvinka's last batch of ketchup canned in 1958 shortly before her death. Jim Ledvinka is now himself a grandfather. Thinking about his grumpy grandma and her spicy ketchup, he wrote to our lost recipes project for help. I got him in touch with an expert.
KAELA PORTER: I'm hardly an expert. I've actually made classic tomato ketchup once.
GRAY: That's Kaela Porter.
PORTER: I write a blog called Local Kitchen Blog that's devoted to eating and cooking locally in New York's Hudson Valley, and ketchup is essentially a fruit butter.
GRAY: A fruit butter? OK. Tomatoes are technically fruit, but there's no butter in ketchup.
PORTER: The name butter comes from the fact that is spreadable like butter.
GRAY: Oh. That makes sense. OK, start the music.
PORTER: I have made dozens and dozens of fruit butters, and they're simple recipes. You know, you take some fruit, and you add a little sugar, and you cook it way, way down. In the case of ketchup, the recipe for ketchup hasn't changed in a long time. It's sugar and tomatoes and vinegar and some spices.
GRAY: But the exact blend of spices can depend on who's making the ketchup. Our listener Jim Ledvinka learned all of this emailing Kaela Porter, the food blogger. The first big break in his ketchup quest came when she asked him a very basic question.
LEDVINKA: Did your grandmother have any cookbooks? Like in a flash, it came to me, "The Settlement Cookbook: The Way to a Man's Heart."
GRAY: Could this be the key to Antoinette Ledvinka's ketchup?
GRAY: To find out, Jim downloaded two editions of "The Settlement Cookbook," bought an actual physical copy from a book dealer and compared ketchup recipes. He deduced that his grandmother likely had improvised from the 1903 edition of the cookbook. He then bought several pounds of ripe, beefsteak tomatoes. He cooked them down to a thickened sauce, and he did experiments with various combinations of spices. Over the course of two weeks, Jim Ledvinka made five batches of ketchup. And his sister, Joanne, she tried them all.
LEDVINKA: The final result is delicious.
GRAY: Joanne Ledvinka says it's not only close to her grandmother's sauce, it's better.
LEDVINKA: It's very robust. You can taste the tomato. You can taste these wonderful spices, particularly the clove and the cinnamon. I just enjoy the heck out if.
LEDVINKA: I think the result we got might not be anyone else's ideal ketchup, but I love it.
GRAY: Jim's ketchup is tart and clovey, though Jim recalls that his grandma's ketchup was even clovey-er. He's since poured his homemade ketchup over meatloaf, hamburgers, anything with ground beef, which means he needs more ketchup. And that's why in Athens, Georgia, this summer, as tomatoes turn red, ripe and juicy, Jim Ledvinka is back in the kitchen making ketchup just like his grandma used to do.

CORNISH: That's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED's Melissa Gray. You can get Jim Ledvinka's ketchup recipe on our food blog, The Salt, at npr.org.

Looks like an excellent book! Once my book-fast is over on January 1st I may just have to purchase this one. Have you read it yourself? Mettaya.
Serenity and insight are the two great wings of Buddhist meditation. They each have a special role to play in the path to Awakening. While some modern approaches seek to marginalize serenity in favor of 'dry' insight, the Buddha's own discourses place serenity right at the center of the path. This book collects virtually all the significant passages on this topic that are found in the early discourses, carefully elucidated for the modern reader.

Set amid varied countryside, the well-signposted 185km St. Boniface Route takes in fascinating places of interest as it makes its way from Mainz to Fulda, two episcopal cities with impressive cathedrals. .
Boniface, born to a noble family in Wessex in 672 or 675 and originally named Wynfreth, was one of the most important preachers and reformers of the early Middle Ages. Even today, many things still recall this Benedictine monk and bear his name. A fascinating trail with plenty of places where pilgrim records can be stamped, the St. Boniface Route is ideal for walkers and modern-day pilgrims. It retraces the path taken by the medieval funeral procession that carried the body of the missionary and church reformer Boniface, who was greatly mourned by the people, from Mainz to his final resting place in Fulda in 754. Along the way, pilgrims can enjoy a variety of scenery including gently rolling vineyards and open plains that give way to densely wooded hills and meandering valleys. Pilgrims will also pass a series of stone monuments to Christian culture, from tranquil abbeys and old country chapels to stone crosses, wayside shrines and romantic village churches. Cities, towns, pretty villages and a number of impressive buildings dating from the Romanesque through to the Gothic and baroque eras stand as reminders of the region's rich and turbulent history. All of the cities, towns and villages along the route are well served by public transport and offer a range of accommodation.

I doubt those monks want to cause harm; it just appears that the situation has progressed to the point where, for worldly intents and purposes, nothing except violent means can hope to resolve it.
Worldly intents and purposes cannot be ignored.
It would be better for the entire dispensation to disappear here and now than have it be sustained in the world through violence. Killing is never skillful, and each and every monk who recommends violence against the Royhinga, or anyone else, should be denounced and disrobed. I do not care in the least about "worldly intents and purposes" when they conflict with the Blessed One's teachings.

I intend purchasing a 37" LCD very soon and have narrowed it down (I think) to two choices: Panasonic 37LZD 85 or LG 37 LG7000. I might get an HD box soon, depending on what I see when I finally get the TV. Any thoughts/opinions would be much appreciated as I am now thoroughly confused. Many thanks.

National Wildlife Federation has worked to connect children and youth with nature for decades, inspiring children through Ranger Rick magazine, working with educators to get kids learning outdoors, and helping parents find new ways to engage their children outside.
Today, the amount of time kids spend outside is alarmingly low--only minutes per day--while screen time is at an all time high (upwards of seven hours).
NWF has set a new goal to stem the tide and move kids back outdoors:
Our three-year goal is to get 10 million more American children out of their indoor habitat and into the great outdoors. This goal propels us toward a future when all kids spend time outside each day, creating a generation of happier, healthier children with more awareness and connection to the natural world.
NWF is working with the major influencers of children's time to make the outdoors a bigger part of their every day lives:
We have resources and tools that help parents incorporate regular outdoor time into their children's days. Through our special events, volunteer opportunities and practical resources, tips and tools, NWF is helping parents turn their inside kids out!
Related Links:
Schools and community-based organizations across the country are incorporating regular time for outdoor learning and play, using NWF's Schoolyard Habitats, Eco-Schools USA program and opportunities such as tree planting events with Trees for Wildlife.
Working with NWF affiliates and other partners, we are making sure our decision makers recognize the integral role outdoor time plays in the health and well-being of our nation's kids and our environment, advocating for them to pass policies that help children, youth and families spend regular time outdoors.

Bursting with flavor, each Carlson Labs Kids Chewable DHA Bubble Gum gel provides 250 mg of DHA. Carlson Labs Kids Chewable DHA Bubble Gum is vital for healthy brain development and vision in growing children. Carlson Labs Kids Chewable DHA Bubble Gum is regularly tested (using AOAC international protocols) for freshness, potency and purity by an independent, FDA-registered laboratory and has been determined to be fresh, fully potent and free of detrimental levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, PCB's and 28 other contaminants. Carlson Labs Excipients Binder: Holds the ingredients in a tablet together. One of three types of binders are used as required: Plant fiber known as cellulose, acacia gum from the stem of the Acacia tree or brazil wax from the leaves of a palm tree. Filler: Fills out the size and shape of a tablet or capsule making it practical to produce and convenient for the consumer to use. Plant cellulose (pure plant filler) is the filler of choice in Carlson tablets or hard gelatin capsules. Soybean or safflower oil is used in soft gelatin capsules. Disintegrant: Expands when wet causing the tablet to break apart in the digestive tract releasing the nutrients for absorption. We prefer to use plant cellulose as a disintegrant. Lubricant: Prevents ingredients from clumping together and from sticking to the tablet punches or capsule filler. Common minerals, silica, and forms of vegetable oils known as vegetable stearin, magnesium stearate or stearic acid are the most often used lubricants in Carlson tablets or hard gelatin capsules. Coating: Protects tablet ingredients from deterioration by moisture in the air and makes large tablets easier to swallow. For most coated tablets, a cellulose (plant fiber) film coating is used which is free of sugar and potential allergy-causing substances. Occasionally, other coating materials are used such as corn protein (zein) or an extraction from trees (pharmaceutical glaze). Sweeteners: Added to make the nutrients more palatable only in chewable tablets or liquids. Sweeteners found naturally in fruits such as fructose and sorbitol are chosen. More information on fructose and sorbitol can be sent to you upon request. Flavors and Colors: Added to improve the taste or appearance of a formulation. We use flavors and colors only when necessary and choose the natural ones. VitaminsVitamins are organic compounds that are necessary for normal growth and maintenance of life. As we are unable to synthesize vitamins, we must rely on foods and food supplements to maintain adequate amounts in our body. Thirteen essential vitamins have been isolated and these are divided into two categories, water-soluble and fat -soluble vitamins. The water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and the group of B-Vitamins. These water-soluble are not stored by the body and can be readily depleted. The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E remain in the body for longer periods of time. MineralsAlthough minerals make up only a small fraction of total body weight (4-5%), they are essential for human metabolism. Minerals act as the catalysts for many biochemical reactions within the human body. They are involved in responses of the nervous system and muscles, the absorption and secretions of the body's fluids, and maintain a delicate water balance within the body. The bones and teeth of our body have high mineral contents which accounts for their hardness and rigidity. Minerals, like vitamins, must also be supplied by dietary means as we are unable to synthesize them in our body.

I have a skill code file loaded in Virtuoso design env and a function of the skill code works fine in its Calculator and in normal Spectre simulation.
When I have the same function in Monte Carlo expression, however, the MC simulation doesn't know what to do and terminates it with an error message. Basically it doesn't recognize the function I am calling from the skill code that has been loaded.
Does anyone know how to include a skill code in ADE-XL for MC sims?
Thanks in advance.

Obviously, I hate linking to BR but this was actually a pretty good interview so...
This is what I took interest in:
Now, I get that LBJ is a pretty sensitive guy, so this is probably him being overly sensitive.. but I find it hard to believe one of the nicest guys in the NBA is disliked by most of his competition. He reminds me of Magic. He's a genuinely super nice guy.So, liked or feared? Which does he prefer?
"No, it dont matter," James said. "Nope. It dont matter to me at all. Youve got some guys in our league who dont like me; youve got some guys who do like me. I dont know. I mean, everything that comes back to me, most guys dont like me."
Even now?
"Nah. Nah. When they place me with the Heat, no one likes the Heat. So theres a lot of guys that dont like me. But its nothing for me to really worry about too much. You dont have to fear me on the court, but respect me. Thats all that matters to me. As long as you respect me, fear or like doesnt matter."
Anywho, pretty good column.

Local Science Fair Winner Took Inquiry from Smith College Lab to Life
Amherst Regional Middle School student Tara Murty recently won the regional science fair for her research into biofilms – the subject of an ongoing inquiry at Smith College – qualifying her to compete at the State Science Fair in Worcester on June 5.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – Local eighth-grader Tara Murty recently took a college research question into the field and was rewarded with the top prize at the regional science fair.
At the same time, Murty's research closely corresponded with what Smith College students had discovered in controlled experiments in the laboratory of Katherine Queeney, associate professor of chemistry.
"This makes the case that our carefully controlled experiments in the lab are truly relevant to what happens in the natural environment," said Queeney, adding "if I didn't believe our lab experiments had relevance to real systems, we wouldn't be doing them. But 'relevance' and 'close correspondence' are two very different things."
Murty was introduced to Queeney by her Amherst Regional Middle School teacher, Jennifer Welborn.
For several years, Queeney's Smith students have been working on modeling biofilms – bacterial mixtures that can cause harm to the surfaces they adhere to – to find out how the chemistry of those surfaces affect how the films grow. In their lab, molecules important to biofilm formation consistently grow in thicker layers on one type of surface (hydrophobic) than on another (hydrophilic).
Biofilms cause damage when they grow on everything from the inside of intravenous or catheter tubing in hospitals to the exterior of ships, said Murty. When biofilm grows on surfaces connected to humans, they cause infections. When biofilms grow on ships' hulls, they add weight and friction to the vessel and accelerate the metal's corrosion, costing the U.S. Navy millions of dollars a year.
Using hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces made in Queeney's lab, Murty performed the research using water from Puffer's Pond in Amherst, and analyzed her results using sophisticated equipment at Smith. She also performed some analysis at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
The middle-schooler's biofilms not only followed the same general trend as has been documented in Queeney's lab, but their thicknesses were on the same order of magnitude.
"The conclusion that hydrophilic substrates grow thinner biofilms suggests that a coating of hydrophilic material on ships' hulls would lessen the biofilm growth," Murty said. In recognition of the importance of her findings, Murty also won an award from the Office of Naval Research.
Beyond the excitement of winning the awards, Murty said, the research experience was meaningful because she felt treated like a college student while experimenting with highly technical equipment not available at middle or high schools.
However, Queeney noted, there was one big difference between the Murty and her students: "Tara had her poster done about two weeks in advance. You can ask my students if any of them have ever had a poster done before the absolute last minute – I know I never have!"

- Microbial light-activatable proton pumps as neuronal inhibitors to functionally dissect neuronal networks in C. elegans (2012)
- Essentially any behavior in simple and complex animals depends on neuronal network function. Currently, the best-defined system to study neuronal circuits is the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, as the connectivity of its 302 neurons is exactly known. Individual neurons can be activated by photostimulation of Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) using blue light, allowing to directly probe the importance of a particular neuron for the respective behavioral output of the network under study. In analogy, other excitable cells can be inhibited by expressing Halorhodopsin from Natronomonas pharaonis (NpHR) and subsequent illumination with yellow light. However, inhibiting C. elegans neurons using NpHR is difficult. Recently, proton pumps from various sources were established as valuable alternative hyperpolarizers. Here we show that archaerhodopsin-3 (Arch) from Halorubrum sodomense and a proton pump from the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Mac) can be utilized to effectively inhibit excitable cells in C. elegans. Arch is the most powerful hyperpolarizer when illuminated with yellow or green light while the action spectrum of Mac is more blue-shifted, as analyzed by light-evoked behaviors and electrophysiology. This allows these tools to be combined in various ways with ChR2 to analyze different subsets of neurons within a circuit. We exemplify this by means of the polymodal aversive sensory ASH neurons, and the downstream command interneurons to which ASH neurons signal to trigger a reversal followed by a directional turn. Photostimulating ASH and subsequently inhibiting command interneurons using two-color illumination of different body segments, allows investigating temporal aspects of signaling downstream of ASH.
- Specific expression of channelrhodopsin-2 in single neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans (2012)
- Optogenetic approaches using light-activated proteins like Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) enable investigating the function of populations of neurons in live Caenorhabditis elegans (and other) animals, as ChR2 expression can be targeted to these cells using specific promoters. Sub-populations of these neurons, or even single cells, can be further addressed by restricting the illumination to the cell of interest. However, this is technically demanding, particularly in free moving animals. Thus, it would be helpful if expression of ChR2 could be restricted to single neurons or neuron pairs, as even wide-field illumination would photostimulate only this particular cell. To this end we adopted the use of Cre or FLP recombinases and conditional ChR2 expression at the intersection of two promoter expression domains, i.e. in the cell of interest only. Success of this method depends on precise knowledge of the individual promoters' expression patterns and on relative expression levels of recombinase and ChR2. A bicistronic expression cassette with GFP helps to identify the correct expression pattern. Here we show specific expression in the AVA reverse command neurons and the aversive polymodal sensory ASH neurons. This approach shall enable to generate strains for optogenetic manipulation of each of the 302 C. elegans neurons. This may eventually allow to model the C. elegans nervous system in its entirety, based on functional data for each neuron.

Eden selected dried green lentils, North Dakota family organically grown in mineral rich, vital soil. A small round legume that is staple food around the world. Common in Middle Eastern and Indian dishes as dal. Ideal for soups, stew, pate, curry, salad, and with any whole grain. Versatile, quick cooking, delicious, and very nourishing. An excellent source of healthy fiber offering 48% Daily Value (DV) per serving; rich in protein, iron, and manganese. A good source of thiamin B1, vitamin B6, folate B9, magnesium, and zinc. Packaged in boxes of recycled and recyclable paperboard, one of the most environmentally friendly packages available. pareve
* See Detailed Description for qualified FDA health claim.
Eden Organic Dry Green Lentils are central North Dakota grown by organic family farmers we know and trust. Their constant care and vital organic soil produce beautifully pure and nutritious food.
Eden Organic Dry Green Lentils are packaged in boxes made from recycled and recyclable paperboard, one of the most environmentally friendly packages available. According to the 100 percent Recycled Paperboard Alliance (RPA100.com), "Fourteen trees are saved for each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard. Trees are critical to the sequestration of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) in North America. For each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard, an equal amount of recovered fiber has been diverted from municipal landfills. Production of 100 percent recycled paperboard uses 50 percent less energy compared to virgin grades of paperboard, thus significantly reducing the greenhouse gases released into the environment."
Lentils Lens culinaris are legumes, not beans. They are small 'lens' or disc shaped legumes sometimes called pulse, dahl, and daal. Native to the Middle East. They have been an important staple food for over 8,000 years. They are mentioned in the Book of Genesis where Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a thick bowl of lentil soup. Lentils come in many colors and are sold in many forms: with skins, without skins, split and whole. Eden Organic Green Lentils are the finest quality whole green with the nutrient and antioxidant rich skins intact. Lentils cook much quicker than dry beans.
According to the FDA, "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Furthermore, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease with many factors." Eden Organic Lentils are an excellent source of fiber providing 48 percent daily value (DV) per serving and are low fat and cholesterol free. Rich in iron and manganese. They are a good source of thiamin B1, vitamin B6, folate B9, magnesium, and zinc.
Studies show beans contain a wealth of antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of healthy compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Beans and legumes are an important source of two essential amino acids not found in many cereal grains, lysine and threonine. Whole grains complement beans and together deliver complete protein. Enjoying a variety of beans with whole grain is a solid step toward a healthy life.
Note: 1/2 cup raw lentils equals approximately 1 1/2 cups cooked.
Sorting Before cooking hand sort the lentils and remove any foreign matter. Wash and rinse.
Soaking Lentils are one of the few legumes that do not require soaking.
Boiling Place 3 cups water per 1 cup of lentils in a heavy pot. Bring to a boil, boil uncovered for about 10 minutes, skim off and discard any foam that rises to the top. Your favorite vegetables and spices can be added at this point if desired. In addition we recommend adding a one inch strip of Eden Kombu sea vegetable for each cup of dried beans to help soften and accentuate flavor. Do not add sea salt until 80 percent done. Salt added at the beginning of cooking prevents beans from fully softening. Reduce the flame, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for about 45 minutes, adding more water just to cover if needed. When 80 per cent done, season with about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon Eden Sea Salt. Cover and simmer for several more minutes or until tender.
Pressure Cooking Pressure cooking is not recommended for lentils as the skins come off while cooking and easily clog the pressure vent.

CHINO HILLS – City leaders expressed concerns Friday about a volunteer group's efforts to document activities at an alleged Chinese maternity hotel.
Members of the grassroots group Not In Chino Hills have been passing out fliers and soliciting help in an effort to prove a maternity hotel is being operated out of a home on Woodglen Drive and two other locations.
The group has asked residents to follow vehicles allegedly used in the hotel operation and to monitor activities at the house and other locations.
However, Mayor Peter Rogers said there is concern with the current approach the group is taking when it comes to dealing with this matter.
"The last thing we want to do is see any individuals in Chino Hills harassed," said Mayor Peter Rogers. "I would hope that our residents know that if we handle this peacefully and through the proper mechanisms that this issue will be resolved in a proper way."
Rossana Mitchell, the spokeswoman for Not in Chino Hills, has encouraged volunteers to be on the lookout for a luxury van, shown with a license plate on a flier, that parks at various locations around town.
The group wants to know "what locations they're doing the dropoffs, where it's going and where it's stopping," Mitchell said.
Mitchell and Alexander Ramirez, who owns a digital surveillance company, asked a neighbor of the Woodglen home if they could place a camera on the neighbor's property to record vehicle activity on the street.
Other council members cautioned residents to obey the law and let the city handle the matter.
"We definitely want our citizens active in our city," said Councilman Ed Graham. "As long as it stays within the law, I encourage that."
Councilman Art Bennett said residents should trust the city to resolve the issue rather than to resorting to their own investigation.
"We know what is going on," he said. "We're pursuing it by law, and we will get this place shut down based upon the fact that it has all these uncorrectable code violations."
Mitchell said she will attend Tuesday's City Council meeting to update the council on what the group is doing.
She said she has encouraged residents to volunteer with the Not in Chino Hills group and to approach the council if they have additional questions.
"I'm sure the council is following the advice of the city attorney," said Mitchell, who is also a candidate for council. "I know that some residents are frustrated because the business is still running."

Plumbing Tip: Brown Water
Posted February 5, 2013
BrightNest, a remodeling a plumbing expert based in Denver, posted a very handy guide to dealing with brown water that comes from your tap. They said that the brown water is usually from sediment or rust, and that it is safe to brush your teeth with. However, they said that brown, rusty water can be a problem for laundry, as it can stain light colored clothing. They suggest running the water to flush out the sediment, and to contact a plumber if the problem persists.View original post.

I wake up every night with pain in my elbows, particularly when I bend my arms. Should I keep getting cortisone shots three times a year? Is surgery an option?
Elbow Pain and Dodgy Elbows01-Dec-2010
More recalcitrant than Castro, though less charismatic, elbow pain is the most common and debilitating of chronic climbing injuries. It might be called golfer's or tennis elbow, but it is climbers (and professional knitters) who are most likely to suffer the travails of blown-out elbows....01-Dec-2010
Elbow: Tendonosis01-Oct-2010
I started climbing six months ago and gradually increased my level to a lethal week: four straight days of hard bouldering and in the following week three days of trad, before my more experienced friends took away my rock shoes and booked me in with the physio who diagnosed elbow and knee tendonosis....01-Oct-2010
Elbow: Medial Epicondylosis and Taping12-Apr-2010
I've had elbow tendonosis for the last year and am finally back to climbing pain free. A physical therapist has told me that weakness in my wrists may be placing greater loads on the elbow tendon, and that taping the wrists before climbing might help. Any thoughts?...12-Apr-2010
Elbow: Tingling and Numbness02-Feb-2010
I have numbness and pins-and-needles in my left forearm. The first time it happened was last March while climbing in the Red, and it happened again this past June at Smith Rock. Both times I didn't notice anything until I was finished with the route. ...02-Feb-2010
Elbows: Minimizing Fingerboard Injuries29-Jan-2010
I use an old Pusher Powerjunkie hang board and I'm concerned about the angled geometry of the main jugs. In the past I have had elbow problems. Is it bad to do pull-ups on grips that are not horizontal? Do you think that this setup could have a negative effect on my elbows? Is it healthier to have the grips set up horizontally as most other hang boards do?...29-Jan-2010
Elbow: Medial Epicondyle Tendonosis28-Jan-2010
I first got tendonosis in my right elbow (medial epicondyle) in 2001 bouldering on plastic. Resting, icing and stretching did not work. I tried cortisone, prednisone, a physical therapist who did massage and Ionto-phoresis for a few weeks (which in hindsight was hocus-pocus), with no long-term improvement....28-Jan-2010
Elbow: Stress Fracture04-Dec-2009
I use a campus board for a quick pump when time is limited. I also campus easier problems for some added strength. However, lately, after five minutes or so of training, I get this aching along the ulnar side of my forearm....04-Dec-2009
Elbow: Pain and Hangboarding04-Dec-2009
I've been doing hangboard and pull-up sessions with added weight. I have had medial elbow tendonosis in the past, and it seems to be returning....04-Dec-2009

Anyone have any experience with hard-disk based juke boxes and running? Things I'd be interested in knowing are:
Think solid state is probably the answer, but really want something with a lot more capacity. Don't want to have two products either.
Thoughts and experiences welcome
Hi Pete,
I am about to buy a 20G iPOD for the very use of running - and having a lot of CD's etc in my hand! From my research there is a 25 minute solid state buffer that the hard disk copies the music to. Playback is from the solid state memory which does not skip etc...my guess is that this preserves battery life with music being copied to the solid state in chunks rather than real time (that's only my opinion).
I have spoken to a chap with an iPOD and he has never had any issues with using it for sport. Also the Apple website and all the other current iPOD sales sites all tout it's use in a robust manner, gym, cycling, running etc....
Personally i can't wait for it to arrive and should be ordering within the next couple of days.
I'll let you know how i get on!
I have used severasl of these devices WALKING as the only time I am guilty of running is a short distance to catch a train, certainly they are fine for walking.
You have to be logged into the site before you can participate in the disussion.

I don't think it's bad to contemplate it. I wouldn't go around expecting it, though. Eventually, some team will be a 70 win team. There's a lot of chance involved in basketball games, and I think at some point a team that would normally win 63-65 games will get flukey results on the remaining games and will exceed their "normal" win amount.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
When you actually think about it, even if you win absolutely every game you "should" win and you go .500 against the 4 best teams in each conference...you're already at least flirting with the 70 win line. There's too many good teams in the league right now I think. If LeBron played with a defensive big man I think they would get there though.

Why is learning How to Cook Dried Beans in a Crockpot Slow Cooker such a big deal? Partly it's because dried beans are one of those magical foods that have everything going for them. Beans are inexpensive, and they're a good source for many vitamins and minerals, plus they're also high in fiber, high in protein, and naturally low in fat, sugar, and sodium. Many types of dried beans are listed among The World's Healthiest Foods, and beans are also listed as one of the Superfoods that we should all be eating often.
Not only are beans nutritious, they're loaded with healthy slow-burning complex carbohydrates, and are low on the glycemic index, making them a good food choice for anyone who's concerned about blood sugar, whether for weight-loss or health reasons.
Beans are also one of the most versatile ingredients you can find, and they show up frequently in recipes for bean soup, bean stew, bean salads, and side dishes. Beans can be combined with chicken, turkey, beef, and eggs and there are also lots of well-known foods around the world where beans are the star ingredient, such as refried beans, hummus, Farinata, Socca, and Falafel.
Learning to cook dried beans in a crockpot slow-cooker is one of those wonderful ideas I discovered through food blogging. After I tried cooking beans this way, I did this experiment to see how soaking the beans would affect the cooking time. I cooked my beans on high, but if you're not going to be home you can always cook them for a longer time on low. The cooking time of dried beans will vary greatly depending on how fresh the beans are, so I can't give you the exact cooking time, but here's a report on the results I got. (See after my recipe for ways other food bloggers use their slow cookers to cook dried beans.)
I started with 2 cups of dried pinto beans, using beans from the same package for both crockpots.
I soaked the beans in the green crockpot overnight (about 10 hours.)
Beans in the brown crockpot were not pre-soaked.
Pre-soaked beans in the green crockpot were tender and full cooked after 3-4 hours on high.
Caution about red kidney beans:
Red kidney beans contain a natural toxin which may not be destroyed if your slow cooker doesn't reach a high enough temperature. To be safe, red kidney beans should be pre-soaked, drained, and then boiled in fresh water for 10 minutes before cooking in the slow cooker. Read more here and here about potential toxins from red kidney beans. Thanks to Stephanie from A Year of Slow Cooking for this tip.)

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The goals of the proposed study are to: 1) test whether small, increasing cash payments to HIV-infected pregnant women, on the condition that they attend scheduled clinic visits and receive proposed services, will increase the proportion of women who receive the most effective antiretroviral regimen they are eligible for by the time of delivery, and 2) elucidate factors that facilitate or inhibit the uptake and adherence to the PMTCT cascade, and to what extent the conditional cash payment program addresses these factors.
This intervention will be implemented and evaluated within our well-established PMTCT program in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC),
|Behavioral: Conditional cash transfer
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment

- proportion of women who were adherent to all conditionalities and received the most effective ARV intervention they were eligible to receive and delivered at an affiliated maternity [ Time Frame: 6 weeks postpartum ]
At each monthly visit starting at randomization (28 weeks), participants will be evaluated for the following conditionalities:
- attended the scheduled visit on time (+/- 5 days)
- accept HIV status and services proposed to them
- return to deliver in the clinic At the end of the follow-up (6 weeks post-partum)the proportion of participants who adhered to all these conditions will be calculated for each study group
- Mother to child transmission rate at six weeks and HIV-free survival. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks post partum ]Proportion of HIV-exposed infant who tested positive at 6 week postpartum
- HIV-free survival at 18 month. [ Time Frame: 18 months porstpartum ]Proportion of children born to HIV+ enrolled mothers who are alive and non infected with HIV

I think you should never interfere with a coach's decision on who to play or not to play and what to do with his players.
You think there's an unsavory reason for benching those guys (throwing a game to win bets)? Investigate the crap out of it. Find a smoking gun.
But fining a coach for sending players home? Yeah, I want to see the league rule it violates and the line drawn by that rule.
As far as the fans somehow not getting what they paid for - you know, it's a sport, not a TV series. The purpose of the game is the game, not the entertainment or star moments or highlights on ESPN. This is the time to draw the line and say the whole focus on stars has limits - otherwise you end up with certain players OFFICIALLY being granted more fouls so they don't foul out, or requirements for teams to substitute a bench player if the starter is doing too good a job defending the Superstar, or other patently ridiculous things that seem less ridiculous when you start by telling a coach he MUST play certain players.

Until filing for bankruptcy in May, Thornburg Mortgage was among Santa Fe's largest employers [Cover story, April 8: "The House Thornburg Lost"].
Multiple sources now tell SFR Thornburg plans to start a new company, structured as a savings and loan or thrift.
That could mean a fresh start as a bank, with new government regulators. Partly because of its corporate structure, Thornburg Mortgage was ineligible for federal bailouts last year. (Thornburg Investment Management, a separate company, remains in business.)
A Thornburg representative did not confirm or deny plans for a new company. "It's just a rumor," Thornburg Mortgage spokeswoman Suzanne O'Leary Lopez says.
O'Leary Lopez, along with a number of other former Thornburg Mortgage employees, now works at an hourly rate as the bankruptcy proceeds. She promises an announcement "if I become a part of something that is formally going to happen."
Meanwhile, interesting details have emerged from the Thornburg Mortgage bankruptcy, which Fortune Magazine recently ranked the eighth-largest in US history, involving $36.5 billion in assets.
For instance, some top people at Thornburg made out well as bankruptcy became likely. A timeline of payments contained in court documents raises questions about when, exactly, Thornburg decided to call it quits.
Bankruptcy records show the first payment "related to debt counseling or bankruptcy" was made on July 21, 2008 to Venable LLP of Maryland. Venable had represented Thornburg since March of last year when Thornburg's day-to-day cash sources began to collapse.
It was not until March 17, 2009 that Thornburg Mortgage announced its own bankruptcy was possible. Thornburg also said it had hired two firms as "lead restructuring counsel" and "financial advisor" to help Thornburg consider "strategic alternatives."
The bankruptcy court documents show one firm, Houlihan Lokey LLP, began getting payments from Thornburg on Dec. 5, 2008. The other, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, got its first $1 million payment on March 11, 2009, followed by a $2 million payment two days later.
Any mystery about the company's future could have been cleared up by March 13, when Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions of Texas cashed its first check, for $25,000, from Thornburg Mortgage.
The announcement, four days later, made no mention of Epiq, saying only that Thornburg's "strategic alternatives…may also include the filing of a [bankruptcy] petition."
On April 1—19 days after its first payment to a "bankruptcy solutions" company—Thornburg Mortgage announced it did indeed "expect" to file.
Inside the company, there was little work left to do except close up shop; the nationwide mortgage market at the heart of its business was a smoldering wreck. But between the first payment to Epiq and the actual filing of the bankruptcy papers on May 1, Thornburg Mortgage paid $137,000 to certain directors for "board fees" and expense reimbursements.
Those directors were Thomas F Cooley, an economics professor at New York University; Ike Kalangis of Albuquerque, a banker appointed by Gov. Bill Richardson to the State Investment Council; former beverage company executive and Vanessie of Santa Fe owner Francis I Mullin III; Eliot R Cutler of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, who was associate director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Jimmy Carter; real estate developer David A Ater of Santa Fe; and Anne-Drue Miller Anderson of Santa Fe.
According to court papers, each got checks worth between $22,000 and $25,000 in Thornburg Mortgage's final weeks—much of it after the company gave layoff notices to 130 employees early in April.
That fits with what critics say was a Thornburg habit of delayed disclosure. Bankruptcy records show five lawsuits pending against Thornburg Mortgage. One class-action suit claims company executives and board members did not share information with investors in a timely fashion. Thornburg Mortgage denies those claims.
Some post-market crash expenses seem lavish. In September 2008, Thornburg Mortgage CEO Larry Goldstone claimed a $31,592 expense reimbursement for his use of Albuquerque-based ACCESS Concierge. That "luxury lifestyle management" company promises to "handle it all, including front row seats and spur of the moment chartered jets, to impossible-to-book theater tickets and dinner or nightclub reservations."
Accountants for Thornburg's creditors bill up to $600 an hour, court records show—but fly coach.

Hey all, I've got a question for any Pacers fans in the Fort Wayne market.
I live south of FW about 15 miles, but my satellite package is based out of Fort Wayne. I had Dish for several years and got the majority of the Pacer games, although not many in HD. Last September I switched to DirecTV, which has been great. Well, except for the fact that all of the sudden Pacer games were blacked out. I ended up getting League Pass anyway, so I was able to watch all the games on FSI. However, I'm not planning on renewing LP this season, and I'm wondering if I'll run into more issues with Dish.
When I called last year, they assured me that I was in the viewing area. When the games were blacked out, they couldn't figure out why and ended up telling me the only way I could get the games was with LP.
Anyone in Fort Wayne have DirecTV and are able to get the games? I'm really hoping that I don't run into this again...
