Cod Fillets with Caper Butter
Of course these are actually tilapia fillets, but the method is the same. This was an incredibly easy meal to prepare. When I got home I scrubbed two baking potatoes, dried them thoroughly, rubbed them with olive oil, salt and pepper and put them in a 400-degree oven to cook for an hour. While they were working I trimmed the asparagus and tossed that with more olive oil, salt and pepper and laid them out on a baking sheet. They went into the oven 10 minutes before the potatoes were done.
As for the fish, all that I had to do was line a baking sheet with foil and lay the fillets down, seasoned on both sides with salt and pepper. They went into the oven at the same time as the asparagus. The fish was served with a caper butter, which was softened butter mixed with 1 tablespoon finely chopped capers, 2 tablespoons minced parsley, salt and pepper. I cut up some lemon to squeeze over the fish once it was cooked and dinner was served. Quick, easy, and delicious.

Mmm...this dinner looks so delicious!ReplyDelete
Looks good. Maybe I should go eat something...ReplyDelete
way to go on having fish twice so close together. :) and it looks very tasty!! (actually, I kinda want that potato right now)ReplyDelete
Katie - Thanks. It was really yummy!ReplyDelete
David - Thanks! I hope you had something good to eat.
Melissa - The potato was perfect. I ate the whole thing, skin and all. Yum!
I love a good potato skin. BTW - do you just trim all the asparagus the same length or individually break each stem? I've been snapping each one but its a little time consuming.ReplyDelete
Jessy - I snap each on individually. Different spears have different breaking points so I don't think it works as well to trim them based on where one spear snaps.ReplyDelete

Has anybody tried this personally? I have heard it's been used for ages and recent studies have actally proven it works but the medical community is clueless.
Bee stings for RA
I am awaiting my first shipment of bees. My mother has RA and I am trying to convince her to try this. I have read a lot of postive stuff about it. Good luck!
It is still too cold here for bees, but I'll keep a look out for them. i don't have my own hives but I should be able to catch a few this summer. It's supposed to work really well with methotrexate.
I started keeping bee's last year and stumbled across someone saying that bee stings helped his soar back. So I began researching Bee Venom Therapy. I started to sting my elbow that was hurting for almost a year from splitting wood and painting for a living. I always had to wear a brace around my elbow, but after a couple treatments last summer I haven't used a brace since. I sting myself if it starts to ache. I also tried it on my dad who has neuropathy in his feet from diabetes. When I first started, he couldn't even feel the bee stings then he started to complain that it hurt. To me that seems that it was helping, but he moved down to Florida for the winter.
Hope that helps
I have heard about the bee stings for sore backs and also for people with MS, but don't know anyone that does it.
My DH works for Norfolk and Southern Railroad and his hearing was bad because of all the noise. Last spring we started with 1 hive and he got stung a few time around his ears and last fall when he had to have his hearing checked at work his hearing test improved, we couldn't believe that. He is hearing much better now. We now have 2 hives and he plans on splitting the first one later in the season.
I have actually read that hearing loss can be due to autoimmune process, so I can understand how bee stings would help in that regard.
There is an Apitherapy site for anyone interested in the medicinal properties of bee stinging and other uses for bee products. Google American Apitherapy Society.
Honey is an antiseptic; propolis has many uses (that's the stuff they 'glue' the hive together with...the bees, not the keepers!) Local pollen for local allergies; the list goes on.
I have had MS for close to 50 yrs. Still walking, etc. Can't owe it all to bee stings, but it helps. They don't know why exactly (no $$ in researching it for 'Big Drug') but bee venom seems to help many autoimmune disorders. Just make sure you're not allergic (not being able to breathe is the only true allergy, anaphylactic shock).
Beekeeping is a great hobby. Great for the garden, environment (they're disappearing, that's another story...) Most towns, cities have a local beekeeping association too. And they LOVE to mentor new beekeepers!

Front yard fishing a reality in Lee County
Fri, 09 May 2014 15:44:42 GMT —
If you've ever wished for a lake front property, the folks on Joe Toole Lane in Lee County would tell you to be careful what you wish for.
One man who lives on the road says it's been covered in water for nearly two weeks now. He told us he literally has fish swimming in his front yard.
While this may seem funny at first, he's worried it will lead to snakes and mosquitos and an overall health hazard. Beyond this, neighbors are worried their property value is decreasing.
Ron Rabun, the Lee County Manager, said the county can't remove the water because they legally have no place to pump it. Rabun says unfortunately they'll just have to let nature take it's course.
As far as the mosquitos, Rabun says when the county sprays they'll be paying extra attention to this area. He also made clear that despite the water over the road, if the people who live there need any kind of emergency or medical assistance, the county will be able to get to them.

Britain "needed to be slapped"
Friday prayer leader says sanctions will do no harm
Press TV: A senior Iranian cleric has dismissed the UK-backed sanctions imposed on Iran as a mere propaganda campaign and praised Tehran's having downgraded its diplomatic relations with London. Addressing a gathering of military forces on Wednesday, Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami noted that the British government had always been involved in hatching plots against Iran, ISNA reported. Khatami said the sanctions brought into force against Iran by the US and the Western countries had not only been ineffective, but had also had propelled the country towards further progress >>>

"Iranians will never forgive the British. The lowest point of Iranian respect for the British was when they carefully planned and executed the assassination of Mirza Taqi Khan-e Amir Kabir (1806-1852) The greatest Prime Minister Iran ever had and the most important man in the last 300 years of Iran's history. Amir Kabir could have been compared with Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Charles de Gaulle.
What he did for Iran has never been appreciated enough, hence it is tragic that incompetent Iranian politicians of the last two centuries failed to finance a biography on him in foreign languages simply because they were all stooges and kissing servants of the British crown, installed Iran to plunder the wealth of a nation.
Iranian hatred for anything British goes deep and it is now part of the Iranian gene, in particular among the educated and respected Iranians. The British will never stop conspiring against Iranians because historically British doctrine in Iran has been to keep Iran from any progress, bribe the elites and recruit spies, thugs, pedophiles and assassins for their never ending attempt to ruin Iranian culture and squash any desire to rise above the ignorance.
By planning the murder of Amir Kabir that has falsely been credited to Amir Kabir's mother-in-law, the British pushed back Iran substantially resenting among many things the fact that Amir Kabir was fluent in Russian and was well liked by the Tzar of Russia. Same allegations were fabricated for Dr. Mossadegh and his destruction (1951) because of the British fear of his empathy with the Russians and removal of the second greatest man in the modern Iranian history by feeding the Iranian ignorance.
Iranians resentment of British attitude in Iran goes back 300 years and it will take a lot of apologies to ever forgive the monster colonialist that brings in governments and disposes them when their usage date gets expired. They use their own thugs to climb the wall of the embassy and then blame it on Iranians and put the stooge Islamic regime in defensive mode. It does not matter anymore who the thugs that attacked the embassy were, but in the heart of any brave Iranians there is a shred of hope that someday that den of conspiracies and espionage called British Embassy gets shut down and the compound be turned into a city park or public facilities, anything good for the environment other than British.
But until then it is wise for any future Iranian regime that is not installed by the British to continue downgrading the diplomatic relation not to a charge-d'affiars or counsular level, but preferably to a gardener level. The highest level of a British diplomat in Iran should be a gardener taking care of the grounds and for that matter the same in London. Any Iranian diplomat ever worked at the Iranian embassy in London was a tyrant working there to sell his motherland to foreigners in exchange for sex, money and gifts and facelifts. Iran does not need an embassy in London and it aspires to turn it into a bed and breakfast compound for the tourists in London and beg them to leave Iranians alone....
the Brits ask for this: they have pandered to the regime for so long, allowing the invasion and hate-rally known as annual Al Qods march in London and allowing IRGC to intimidate and attack Iranian expats here! When they suddenly change tack they only have themselves to blame!

"To the Brits & Europeans: F*ck You"
For over 30 years, I could see thugs from the regime in Iran walking down high street kensington. Buy property, opening bank accounts, trading with the Brits. And for 30 years NOTHING, I mean nothing was done to undermine the regime in Tehran. The Brits after all were not going to bring down what they had put up!! Britain maintained full diplomatic relations with Iran. So did every European country. When American "administrations" pushed for aggressive, decisive actions against Iran - it was the Europeans (notably the Brits) that watered down every proposal and pushed for sanctions only. And they made sanctions a joke. The Brits made sanction busting a source of serious revenue. Go to Britain's colonial outpost in the Persian Gulf (Dubai) and you'll see how British banks and corporations have made a huge multi-billion dollar business transhipping sanctioned goods to Iran. They built a cat-cracker in Iran (so Iran could produce its own gasoline) then announce sanctions on gasoline exports to Iran. They put some banking restrictions on transfers to Iran, then offered their banks in Dubai, as third party entities to effect those transactions. You Brits and Europeans have made sanctions a joke. You f*cking hypocrites.
For over 30 years, you maintained direct high level diplomatic relations with Iran - while in effect shutting out the Americans. You sold power plants, chemical plants, cars, spare parts, ...you name it to Iran. You kept the Islamic regime alive. Yet, the leadership in Iran has basically remained the same. Rafsanjani and Khamenei have been in power for over 30 years at the very highest level in the regime in Iran. Now suddenly you see the light and are announcing serious sanctions against Iran? You f*cking hypocrites.
It was over 30 years ago that you sold a nuclear power plant to Iran. You built it. You even asked Iran to invest a billion dollars into Eurodif - Europes Uraniam enrichment plant. Iran even has a directorship in the company. Yet, somehow, now its not kosher for Iran to be enriching Uranium? You f*cking hypocrites.
For over 100 years, you systematically undermined Iranian democracy. From the Reza Shah coup in 1920 to Operation Ajax and the Mohamad Reza Shah Coup in 1952, to the Mullah's Coup in 1979 ...you have turned on the people of Iran and their legitimate right for freedom and free speech, democracy. You have put up puppet dictatorships in Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan where you are stealing oil - Iranian oil! Throw sex parties for (President for life) Aliev in Azerbaijan. And you have the audacity to talk about democracy and pretend to promote democracy and human rights worldwide. You F*cking hypocrites.
You pushed Saddam hussein to invade Iran. Sell arms to both sides. Extend the Iran-Iraq war for 8 years. Make record profits in the process. Then you persuade the U.S. (with false intelligence) to invade Iraq. After leveraging trillions from the U.S. Treasury, and over 4000 American deaths and something like 120,000 Iraqi civilian deaths...you take over Iraq two largest oil fields - Majnoon and Ramalla! And now control the world's second largest oil reserves. And now the Iraqi government wants American soldiers to leave Iraq - while you are maintaining a military presence!!! ...much more

- Iranian Students attack British Embassy
Vashti 11/30/2011 at 8:47 pm
As many folks have observed, including British foreign minister Hague, the attack could not occur if not approved at the highest level. So here it is:
Mohammad Mohammadian, a representative of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, praised the attackers, saying they had targeted the "epicenter of sedition."
Vashti 11/30/2011 at 2:27 pm
Does this mean Aghazedeh's (privilged offsprings of IRI leadership) and IRI Officials can no longer obtain U.K citizenships? Does it mean they can not come to U.K and lecture people about non violence and civil society? does it mean they can not touch all the money they looted for the past 30 some years and now stored in U.K and European banks? seriously what is the impact of this action?
Vashti 11/30/2011 at 1:59 pm
"Other embassies may be closing in Iran according to Washington Post and I suspect this makes more likely a vote to shut off Iranian oil imports to the West. That could add to the regime's economic woes.
Excerpt from Washington Post:
European ambassadors in Tehran had a long meeting Wednesday in which the options of withdrawing heads of missions and even closing all European embassies in Tehran were debated, said a European diplomat who asked to remain anonymous. One diplomat had visited the British Embassy grounds to search for the British ambassador's dog, which was found. The diplomat said damage to the buildings was extreme.
"The place had been systematically ransacked, paintings were destroyed and furniture was broken," the diplomat said. "We have concluded that the attack had been extremely well coordinated by the authorities," he said.
Iran's leaders apparently made a deliberate decision to allow groups of young men armed with sticks to pillage the diplomatic compounds Tuesday and briefly detain six embassy staffers.
At Enduring America, an article identifies one high Basilj official and what appears to be a top IRCG Quds officer (Special Forces) involved in the demonstration. EA has circled their faces in red. You can clearly see a mullah is among the demonstrators. Toss in the encouragement of such attacks by Khamenei's hard-line supporters in parliament, plus praise for it by so many top regime officials afterewards.
This regime is going to be held accountable for outlaw behavior and it will be costly. A news outlet associated with Ahmadinejad has also praised the attack, indicating that--whatever arguments he may have on the mullahs--both factions are as "tight" on this one as they were on election day and afterwards.
Like the recently disrupted attack in Washington, this is another bone-headed scheme by a hard line regime at the worst possible time. It's as stupid as the blatantly rigged election. These thugs think they can get away with anything and people won't notice.
A MESSAGE TO IRAN'S CENSORS: Don't worry about EA's analysis of the photos. Even if you could filter them, they are all over the internet now and in the offices of many western governments. Everyone knows the Basilj are directly controlled by the Supreme Leader and couldn't act without his permission. The same has been true when, dressed in plain clothes, Basilj and Hezbollah types beat up moderate clerics and trash their homes and mosques. Everyone knows who is the MAIN MAN behind it all."

Iran's supreme leader assails two-state solution for Palestinians and Israel
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the Palestinians should not limit themselves to seeking a country within the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip — which would implicitly recognize Israel — because "all land belongs to Palestinians."
Khamenei, who spoke at a pro-Palestinian conference in Tehran, called Israel a "cancerous tumor" that should be removed.

Please don't spread propaganda about Khomeini's so-called spirituality. Your disconnect on Iran's revolution is awe-inspiring.

This (almost) daily post intends to follow up the activity changes of volcanoes all over the world.
This post is written by geologist Rodger Wilson who specializes in Volcano seismicity and Armand Vervaeck. Please feel free to tell us about new or changed activity if we haven't written about it. -
January 28, 2013 volcano activity
Volcanic tremor accompanying the ongoing eruption at Plosky Tolbachik (Kamchatka Peninsula) has been slightly elevated the past few days. Seismicity ranging from moderate to low levels accompanies lava extrusion at nearby volcanoes Kizimen, Bezymianny, and Sheveluch. Earthquake activity is moderate at Klyiuchevskoi volcano, accompanying low-level Strombolian activity at the volcano's summit, and low at Karymsky volcano where occasional Strombolian/Vulcanian explosions interupt the silence of its wilderness location.
Another pulse of earthquake activity is affecting Mammoth Mountain volcano (CA) (station MMS) today. This episode is shallower (~ 3km depth) and comprised of a few larger magnitude earthquakes (to magnitude M1.4 so far) than some previous spates at the volcano.
A relatively vigorous swarm of volcanic earthquakes is taking place at Colima volcano (Mexico) at the time of this writing. Volcanic tremor and small volcanic earthquakes accompany degassing (and some ash emission) at Popocatepetl. Exhalations at the volcano continue at an average rate of about once per hour today.
Seismograms for the Guatemalan volcanoes were (again) not accessible.
A few volcanic earthquakes continue to punctuate continuous, low-level volcanic tremor at San Miguel volcano (El Salvador) (station VSM).
Seismograms for Colombia volcanoes also continue to be innaccessible.
Increased numbers of volcanic earthquakes and tremor continue at Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) (station RETU). EPN reports that increased vapor emission along with some ash have occurred at the volcano for several days. Explosions events, volcanic tremor and earthquakes rock Reventador volcano (station CONE) again today.
SERNAGEOMIN reports that unrest within Copahue volcano (Chile-Argentina border) has decreased dramatically. A vapor plume (containing some ash?) is visible in today's volcanocam photo.
Volcanic tremor has become increasingly unstable in the past 24 hours at White Island volcano (New Zealand), even stopping for short periods the past few hours. Hybrid (volcanic) earthquakes continued beneath the vent overnight and early morning volcanocam shots show increased steaming from the volcano. Local earthquakes are also visible on seismograms from Tongariro volcano today.
Recent satellite imagery shows SO2 plumes drifting from Tolbachik and Ambrym (Vanuatu) volcanoes.

Northfield just got a little bit sweeter.
In a trend taking over South Jersey, the city has gained its first self-serve frozen yogurt parlor.
Yogurt Swirls offers everything you'd want in a frozen yogurt shop, plus more. Choose from 20 flavors, including delicacies such as red velvet cake, cheesecake swirl and Tahitian vanilla.
One thing Yogurt Swirls has that most self-serve dessert places don't have, is an outdoor patio with plenty of umbrellas to bring you shade in the summer, and a fire pit that will be perfect for when the cooler weather that everyone is waiting for rolls around.
The hardest part about going to Yogurt Swirls may be making a decision. The shop has more than 100 toppings to choose from, offering thousands of possibilities.
Frozen yogurt will be 49 cents per ounce, which means there are no rules on how many ice cream flavors and toppings you can fit in one cup.

five days ago I developed a rash on my face. Went to the doc, and she took me off my meds because she thought it was an allergic reaction. She put me on allegra and nothing has helped, in fact it's worse. It is a raised rash that started around my jawline and neck, now it has spread to my cheeks and around my eyes. It is light pink in color and my skin looks bumpy. It does itch and sting a little, but not too major. I have alot of bruises popping up all over(not on my face). My knees are also killing me. Can this really be an allergy? Someone told me it sounds like lupus. I am 35 and this is my first rash. I heard lupus is red and on the nose and cheeks. So far it isnt on my nose.

About the Rash
I was diagnosed when I was 16- my rash started on my cheeks- looked like a sunburn. I get it all over now, anyplace the sun touches, or heat touches. But I has never been raised, or itchy or hurt. It may be an allergy- have you tried benadryl? What other meds were you on?

Kelley, ihave had lupus and vasculitis for many yrs. I developed a rash last year on my hands, around the corners of my mouth were red and irritated hurt and the areas on my back also. The areas on my hand first blister up painful red and ichted and my back. I saw my dermatogolist and prescribed cream and gave me injections in my back for the itching it was so raw and irritated. Did that every help it took it awhile for the rashed to go away. It was related for me lupus and sun. The corners of my mouth I visited my dentist and he told me that due to being on prednisone and having a dry mouth that it was yeast and my derm. Confirmed it gave me sample to use around the mouth and it cleared up.Dont know if u have seen derma. Yet might give it a try it want hurt and good luck! Hang in there it will clear up it took me a while. Brenda foreman

My Nonprofit Reviews
John Vaillancourt
Review for Wounded Warrior Project, Jacksonville, FL, USA
I am a regular, monthly donor to Cup of Joe for a Joe, Move America Forward, and TroopsDirect (not reviewed on this site). The warm and frequent pitches for WWP piqued my interest and I was considering becoming a donor. Before writing a check, my enthusiasm declined because of the astonishing heavy volume of DAILY mail solicitations. In keeping with my personal practice, I decided not to give to an organization that seems to be spending so much of its resources on promotion -- keeping the administrators well compensated but leaving me in the dark as to the effectiveness of the organization.

BBQ Flavored Tea?
As a matter of fact, we had a discussion about tea a few days ago (Frank)…smoke is something I wanted to ask YOU about since I had some Smoky Earl Grey at my local tea shop today and then bought my first China Lapsang Souchong. Wanted to know your favorites. Love the possibilities of pairing with cheese, fruit and chocolate. Saw some comments you made on a discussion about smoke. Could not send you a note for whatever reason. Opinion's?
Erm, my opinion, Or in LiberTEAS opinion? I'm certain, based on her tea experience and her passion around food, she could give you great information about pairing a smokey tea with food.
I have only had a few Lapsang Souchongs, but for me, the smokier, the better. Seven Cups Strong Smoke is reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy smokey! I've also had one that wasn't smoky at all. I am also interested in food pairings, but I have nothing to offer at the moment. LiberTeas?
Thanks…I Was looking for yours based on what I read elsewhere – a comment by you on smoked tea. Will look Seven Cups up.
Your welcome. Seven Cups has great tea. I judge they are expensive, but their older teas that are on sale aren't too pricy.

Great article! Hope this makes the 6 o'clock news as well! They need awareness and attention and I hope people get to read this article and pass it on to their families and friends. Next stop, emails to our district legislators and our city council rep, as well as our good friend Dr. Jim Ireland!

That guy is a creep. Just seconds away from the true CL killer. Buyer beware
Verbena salon I wouldnt suggest unless youre looking for a disaster. The owner is horribly rude, unprofessional and ignorant. The stylist that did my hair was unqualified and there was no responsiblity taken. Also beware of hidden charges, poor attitudes, and an overall exhausting experience. This salon puts Aveda to shame.

Watching the current season of Big Brother, I find myself in a state of forced optimism. I've seen comments from people across the internet complaining about this season being one of the series' worst. The racism controversy may have contributed to that at least a little bit, and some could argue that the MVP twist played a role. I also wouldn't argue against the theory that casting too many early-twenty-somethings turned Big Brother into The Real World in its earlier weeks when it seemed like half the house had paired up for showmances before the feeds had even come on. But I think Big Brother 15 can be salvaged. There's still game left to be played and more than enough time and houseguests for things to turn around. Heck, if Aaryn can find her inner "good witch" and show us her more likable side, there's no reason some of the other houseguests can't either.
I watch the feeds. My dedication to them has varied a bit over the past month due to other commitments, but I've been keeping up with what's going on behind the scenes, so this mini-rant comes from the full picture, not just the episodes. But in all fairness, I don't think Big Brother has skewed things all that much in the edit they've given of certain houseguests. Whether or not the conspiracies about Amanda having producer-connections are true, it's certainly not coming through in her edit. Granted, she's said some off-color things, mostly in jest from what I've seen, and the episodes haven't showcased that as they did with Aaryn, but the last couple of weeks haven't featured her favorably. In fact, Amanda is one of the two houseguests I have a big issue with. I like Amanda. Or I liked the Amanda that came into the house, speaking her mind, making people laugh and making game moves. The Amanda we've seen on the feeds and the one featured in the episodes seems to have lost her game.
I don't fault Amanda for feeling frustrated that she hasn't won any competitions or even for admitting her irritation that McCrae didn't throw her the last HoH - never mind that she might have lost it to Andy anyway. I can't blame her for being emotional at this point in the game. It's just really hard to watch. And that's pretty much the issue I have with Amanda. The human side of me sympathizes with her frustrations and moodiness, as I can only imagine what it would be like being trapped inside the Big Brother house for more than a month. But she's taking it out on everyone in the house, including McCrae. It seems like she's lost her energy or spark or whatever enjoyment of the game she had coming into the house. Whether or not that can be regained, I don't know, but it'd be great if it did.
Amanda's been playing one of the better games in the house, and the smart thing to do would be to play up the "I can't win anything" as strategy. It's her biggest selling point at this stage of the game. People are threatened by her because she has influence. She can offset that by playing up this frustration she's experiencing. The problem is, she isn't doing that. She's just being frustrated and wallowing. So instead of using her losses as strategy, it's being turned into segments that show her looking like a sore loser. So as much as I feel for Amanda and any other houseguest showing signs of emotional exhaustion, as a viewer, I'd really like to see her put her chin up and get her head back in the game.
I don't even know what to think about McCrae. On one hand, I think he genuinely likes Amanda, so I'm not going to suggest he's faking his showmance with her at this point because he has no other choice. But on the other hand, Amanda could end up wrecking his game if she doesn't get it together. And I don't think McCrae has the words to pep Amanda up and get her to turn around. He's tried talking to her and nothing's changed. So he may be better off if she goes home. But I'd much rather see Amanda have a turn-around, much in the way we've seen Aaryn turn around. With that in mind, it took losing her showmance and most of her allies for Aaryn to stand up and really start to playing for herself. Maybe McCrae has to leave for Amanda to do the same. As a McCrae fan, I really don't want to see that happen, but I do think showmances sometimes make players lazy in their game.

Price invaluable for Huskies
Huskies quarterback picks up where Locker left off.
Updated 12:08 am, Friday, December 23, 2011
SEATTLE — Washington coach Steve Sarkisian expected good things from sophomore quarterback Keith Price before the season.
But even Sarkisian might have been stretching the truth just a little if he envisioned Price's debut season as he replaced Jake Locker as the Huskies' starter.
"The day that Jake walked out the door, it was an 'Oh, no, what are we going to do' from people everywhere," Sarkisian said. "But I had confidence in Keith that things would turn out all right."
Price did much more than that. Despite a grand total of one college start coming into the season, he threw for a school-record 29 touchdown passes and ranked 12th nationally in pass efficiency. It helped lead the Huskies into the Dec. 29 Valero Alamo Bowl against Baylor.
The big season was satisfying for the 6-foot-1, 195-pound Price, who helped the Huskies post a 7-5 record to earn consecutive bowl trips for the first time since eight straight berths from 1995-2002.
And his big numbers weren't all that unexpected for him — even if most of the rest of the college football might have been surprised.

"I worked for it," Price said. "Coach Sark and Coach Nuss (Washington offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier) put me in the best position to make plays. I knew how good I was, even if nobody else knew about it."
In many ways, Price might be a better fit in Sarkisian's precision passing offense than even Locker, whose natural skills enabled him to be picked eighth in the first round by the Tennessee Titans last spring.
"He really grew up in the system, and it's all he really knows," Sarkisian said about Price. "So it comes a little more naturally for him than maybe for Jake. Keith knows the nuances of the system, and his ability to get us out of bad plays and get into good ones has been really epic."
The season started quickly for Price, who threw 21 touchdown passes in his first six games to spark a 5-1 Huskies start that pushed them as high as No. 22 in the AP poll. It was Washington's highest national ranking in eight seasons.
As the season progressed, ankle and knee injuries left him at about 75 percent efficiency late in the year.
But time off since the Huskies' 38-21 Apple Cup victory over Washington State on Nov. 26 has enabled Price to approach recovery for the first time since the start of the season.
"The past couple of weeks have been good for me," Price said. "I don't feel like I did in September, but I'm getting better."
From an early age, Price was captivated by football. He remembers when his mother bought him a passel of NFL jerseys that he would hang near his television set as he watched his favorites play.

"That's something I always enjoyed doing," Price said. "My mom went down to J.C. Penney's and got me every team. And my favorite was Denver because I was a big John Elway fan."
He carries that joy for the sport to this day. It's why he still sleeps with a toy football carried over from his Pop Warner days — as much continuing his passion for the sport than as a way of building ball security each night.
After growing up in Compton, Calif., Price's family arranged for him to attend the exclusive St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, Calif.
While there, Price developed into one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation. And before his senior season, he accepted a scholarship offer from former Washington coach Tyrone Willingham.
But after Willingham was fired and Price produced a strong senior season, he attracted wide interest from programs such as Oregon and Arizona State.
One of Sarkisian's first priorities after being hired was to nail down Price's commitment. And after his first home visit, it ended all of Price's indecision.
His teammates are glad that Price is there.
"He's been a big inspiration for us," Washington junior center Drew Schaeffer said. "He's battled through injuries, stood in the pocket and took hits when he shouldn't have. But he did it and earned a tremendous amount of respect from us."

€220,000 car park closed after four months
A PILOT park-and-ride service that received €220,000 in funding has been scrapped after just four months.
The service covered the commuter belt around Galway, allowing motorists to park in the airport and avail of buses into the city centre.
The park-and-ride facility was set up by the Galway Airport board as part of its business plan to secure the future of the facility. However, it was attracting fewer than 100 commuters a day.
The pilot scheme had been due to continue until November but has ceased with immediate effect – two months early.
Chief executive of Galway Chamber Michael Coyle said the decision was taken when it became clear that uptake was not increasing.
The decision will save the taxpayer €32,000 in pledged funding from the National Transport Authority (NTA), according to Mr Coyle.
"We were provided €100,000 funding from the NTA for the six-month pilot period. We received €16,000 a month from the NTA via Galway City Council. To date we've been paid for three months and are awaiting payment for the fourth.
"We are keenly aware that this is taxpayers' money and when it became clear it wasn't working we chose not to continue," he said.
A further €20,000 from the NTA was spent on marketing the venture. However, from the start it struggled to entice commuters. In June, the number of bus departures was cut by almost half, from 50 to 28, in a bid to cut losses.
Mr Coyle said he was surprised by the slow take up and insisted that it had been strongly publicised.
"It has been constantly in the media over the months. Apart from the advertising taken out, there was an extensive level of media interest in it. The question is why people were not willing to use an alternative to car commuting.
"These routes during peak times are bumper to bumper. The mystery is that drivers elected to drive past the facility and continue to sit in their cars," he said.
"We had hoped for a boost in numbers when the schools returned but that didn't materialise," he added.
The service also received €100,000 from the two local authorities which was used to cover the day-to-day costs.
Mr Coyle said the funding from the city and county councils was used to keep the airport afloat while its business plan, which included the park and ride plans, was put in place.
Mr Coyle said that other aspects of the business plan were working well and as a result the airport remained operational.

The Man from the Coffee ShopDanielle made enough money to pay rent, bills, and feed and clothe her. But she was nowhere near happy. She felt dirty, used, and just all around worthless. Six months had gone by since her husband left and it was becoming less of an importance to her. During her time spent at the coffee shop she began to notice a man with short shaggy brown hair, glowing green eyes, and a trimmed five o'clock shadow. The man turned and caught Danielle staring one day and it had embarrassed her. Week after week,
This chapter introduces one of my main characters, Gabriel.
"Hello", he said. "I'm Gabriel, Gabe for short. I figured I'd come over and introduce myself since I'm sure we've met before."
"Oh no!" she thought to herself, "I didn't…" She figured he'd gotten her as an escort and she just didn't seem to remember.
"Are you sure? I think I'd remember that accent, it's not so easy to cover up I'd bet," she played off to see where the conversation led.
Gabriel chuckled, and took a swig of his coffee. He turned to glance out of the coffee shop window, "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"
Danielle looked, and nodded in agreement.
"And your name is..?" he asked her.
"Danielle," she replied, and she took another sip of her coffee. "So how is it that we know each other?"
"Well, I see you in here every Sunday," he paused, "sitting here staring out that window. I come in on my days off and I figured you did too. And really, I just wanted a reason to introduce myself."
"Oh," said Danielle, wondering what was wrong with this man, there was no way he could be this kind and be real.
Danielle found herself caught up talking with Gabe for hours at the shop. By the time she finally took a moment to glance at the clock it was a quarter to seven. She dismissed herself with a brief goodbye and headed home, making an agreement to show up at the same time next Sunday. She walked out of the coffee shop, leaving Gabe behind, blushing like a child still sitting in that chair.

Theresa Villiers announces 'substantial' new economic package for Northern Ireland
A substantial new economic package is being created by ministers in London and Belfast, it has been claimed.
Encouraging enterprise, boosting infrastructure and improving access to bank finance are among measures being considered, according to Secretary of State Theresa Villiers.
Prime Minister David Cameron met Stormont First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness at Downing Street last month to discuss steps including the devolution of powers to reduce corporation tax levels paid by businesses which could encourage foreign investment.
Ms Villiers told MPs: "We are working with the Executive on a substantial new economic package, alongside measures to build a more cohesive and stable society.
"The package is in addition to the support Northern Ireland already receives from the UK Government."
She said Stormont's Executive should develop economic and social measures including work on a shared future.
"Put simply, it is a two-way street - the greater the Executive's ambition the more the UK Government will be able to do to help," she added.
"This is about partnership and working together and I am optimistic about the chances of achieving a good outcome for Northern Ireland."
Mr Robinson said ministers in Northern Ireland were pressing the Prime Minister to agree to devolve corporation tax, which would allow the executive the power to reduce it in line with the Republic of Ireland's 12.5% and more effectively compete for foreign investment.
"We have a job which was identified by the Prime Minister of attempting to grow our private sector in Northern Ireland, to rebalance our economy," he said.
"We cannot do that without having some additional fiscal levers available to us."
He called for Westminster to allow flexibility.
Mr McGuinness accused Mr Cameron of reneging on an agreement "ring-fenced" by Labour in cutting the peace dividend by 40%.
"It should not have happened, it was totally and absolutely wrong," he said.
"What David Cameron needs to understand is that when political leaders go as a group and we get guarantees described as ring-fenced we expect people to keep their word.
"This is a peace process we are talking about, this is about showing people in communities that they can benefit from the fruits of peace. This administration was truth-bound to stand by those commitments and they have not done that."

Tulowitzki back in action after foul-ball injury
Tulowitzki back in action after foul-ball injury
On Tuesday, Tulowitzki was moving around the clubhouse much better even though his knee was heavily wrapped. After taking a 20-minute batting-practice session, Tulowitzki was given the green light to return to the field. But you might not be seeing him waiting in his usual spot before heading to the on-deck circle.
"Maybe not the top, top step," Tulowitzki said. "It's just sore. It's like getting hit by a pitch but on my knee."
Colorado manager Jim Tracy said the ball could have easily shattered Tulowitzki's kneecap and sidelined him for an extended period of time had it landed about three inches higher on his leg.
"We dodged a serious bullet," Tracy said.
That wasn't the only notable roster decision made Tuesday, as right-handed reliever Carlos Torres was optioned down to Triple-A Colorado Springs to make room for Jeremy Guthrie (shoulder), who was activated from the 15-day disabled list.
"[Torres] will start, absolutely," Tracy said. "We want him to pitch some more innings. We're sending Carlos Torres back to Colorado Springs to make room for Jeremy Guthrie. We're not sending Carlos Torres to Colorado Springs because he's done anything that warrants him having to go back down and I made that very clear to the player."

Let's talk the impact of geography on influences for a bit, shall we? Let's take Blues for an example. From the outside, it's easy to look at the musical form of Blues as just a blanket term, but within that category things are much more fine-grained. For instance, you have Chicago blues, which has a heavy horns influence, as opposed to Delta blues which is guitar-centric, as opposed to Texas blues which is more electric guitar-centric. All three are, undeniably, the blues. But sprouted from the same seed, they grew up to reflect the other influences, both musically and culturally, that were going on around them.
This is particularly relevant when discussing Asa, and the new-soul revival. Grown from the same seeds of old-school soul (Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, etc.) the new-soul movement has slight variances in flavor/style, small, but to my ear undeniable. Maybe it's the production style, but there's no doubt that American musicians such as Jill Scott or Fitz & the Tantrums or Mayer Hawthorne are drawing from a different playbook than British musicians like Adelle or Rumer, despite the common origin point. Same too with Asa (pronounced Asha), who was born in Paris before moving Nigeria with her parents. Her father had an extensive collection of records containing many of the same seeds as the other new-soul artists, but also a deep catalog of Nigerian artists such as Fela Kuti and Ebenezer Obey. When she returned to Paris around the age of 18, she was on her way to defining her own sound.
There's something cosmopolitan about Asa's second album, "Beautiful Imperfection" that has me listening to it on constant repeat the last few days. It is both comfortable and familiar at the same time that it's undeniably alien. The inclusion of lyrics in Yoruba contributes mightily to this. There's this perception by a segment of the western world that African is one big primitive wasteland in constant struggle, decades behind everyone else. While there are regions that are certainly suffering from war, famine, corruption, and general collapse, Africa is a BIG place. The continental United States can fit inside the Sahara desert with room left over. And there are more countries, language groups, and cultural identities than I could conveniently list here.
So when I say the music on "Beautiful Imperfection" sounds cosmopolitan, I don't mean it sounds Parisian. No, there's no denying the influence of Nigeria here, though at the same time, it's absolutely a western new-soul album. It doesn't sound like anything else I'm listening to right now. The closest parallel would be how I felt about Sade's first few albums…but less sultry. In fact, the first song on the album, "Why Can't We" is a bouncy joy that seems more influenced by Bob Marley than anything else. Then you get to "Be My Man," which was the first single that calls to mind Amy Winehouse and the British new-soul sound. Only to switch with the next song, "Preacher Man" that I've linked to above–a live recording for German TV…so forgive the minute or so intro, because the performance is excellent. Then a few songs later, my personal favorite, "The Way I Feel," which is the whole reason for this post.
"The Way I Feel," feels like a song from a slick, noir spy film. Timeless, the way a good Bond theme is timeless. It makes me want to write cyberpunk thrillers set in Lagos with Asa playing in the background. Now, keep in mind, I've never BEEN to Africa, much less Lagos, so I'm probably not the person best suited to this task. So I'm putting this idea out there to the universe. I'd love to see some more sci-fi coming out of Africa. I mean, we have this outstanding-looking anthology out this month, I believe? But other than a handful of novels (Zoo City and Moxieland by Lauren Beukes, both of which are excellent, btw), there's a lot of room in the market.
And if someone writes that Lagos cyberpunk novel before I get to it, let me know. I'd read the HELL out of that! In the meantime, I'll just continue enjoying the music.

The legendary OC punkers Social Distortion have two more shows in San Diego this month -- after selling out two others earlier in January -- and tickets are still available for the FM 94/9 show on Jan. 16.
The band has come a long way since 1983 when frontman Mike Ness punched out a bouncer before a Social D club gig in San Diego. The triumph was short-lived though. After the show, a group of bouncers grabbed Ness, beat him up and called the police to bring assault charges. Ness landed in jail for several days.
The hard life for Ness are the days of yesterday; now it's all about keeping the Social D legacy alive. With the shows leading up to this one, I would say the band hasn't missed a step. The band arose from the punk scene but became much more than that over the years incorporating country into some of the songs. As the only constant member of the band, Ness has spawned a culture in Southern California that involves hot rods and rock & roll, not just punk. Seven albums in, look for the band to release something new in 2013; it's possible they'll be playing some of these new songs at the show.
The band formed in the late '70's in Fullerton, Calif, then broke up in 1983, reforming in 1988). We can all be thankful Mike Ness got back on the right track and is in many ways our generation's Johnny Cash -- congrats to 35 years of Social Distortion!!!

What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 Hits Retailers Nationwide
NIS America announced today that "What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2" has been shipped to retail stores nationwide. The retail UMD version of My Lord 2 has My Lord 1 included in the game as a bonus content. You can play My Lord 1 by entering a not so secret code that is included in the manual. The affordable downloadable version, which is available at PlayStation Network, will be released on May 6. Unlike the UMD version, the downloadable edition does not include My Lord 1, but both My Lord 1 and 2 are offered at discounted prices.
The goal of the game is clean and simple: As the God of Destruction, you must create a dungeon that is both difficult and powerful enough to fend off the human hero invaders. The dungeon must have a self-sustaining ecosystem, so players must strategically dig and create a dungeon with a balanced food chain. Periodically, human heroes will invade the dungeon in order to bring peace and harmony to the world. But, they are your enemies. You must destroy the heroes before they capture the Overlord and take him back to the surface.
The game system may be simple, but this game is loaded with tons of evolving monsters, environments, and heroes for hours of game play. Compared to the original game, part 2 has 2.5 times more heroes, 3.3 times more monsters, and 4 times more stages to beat.

Baby showers are a wonderful way to welcome a baby into your family. Now it is possible to know ahead of time if you're expecting a boy or a girl. If you are having a son be sure to include that in your invitations to the shower, so you won't get gifts you can't use, like pink dresses or eyelet booties.
If you look at any card shop or even online you will be amazed at the wide selection for baby boy shower invitations. Or you may even wish to create your own and make it more personal. Some companies let you do this online and walk you through the steps. Or you could get a card creation kit at a craft store. If you are truly creative you may even start with colorful paper and glitter or baby boy stickers and make your own. All of these can result in very personal and lovely baby boy shower invitations.
When I was expecting my son, I added a pale blue ribbon about an inch wide to the invitation for each person. I also included a request for the person to write their favorite boy baby names on the ribbon. At the shower we put them all into a clear bowl and drew them out to read aloud. Some were funny and some were sweet but all were appreciated.
The color blue is still the gold standard for a baby boy's shower invitation, but blue comes in a wide range of shades. The addition of purple or lavender could also make a great statement.
Inside the invitation, be sure to include where the shower will take place and a phone number to call to R.S.V.P. Sometimes it's nice to include a few things the new mother might need for ideas. If you do this, remember to keep the cost low on these items as it is meant to be helpful but not too forward.
Having a baby can be an exciting time in a couple's life. Part of this fun is the wonderful gathering of family and friends at a baby shower.
Share your personal baby shower experiences. What's the cutest boy baby shower idea you've seen?

Basically, it's generally agreed that crop rotation is essential and works. Companion Planting is at best random, but could be considered as part of a planting plan once a crop rotation plan has been worked out.

You can if you like, but it would be important not to follow the same patch of ground with onions again (slightly less important with carrots, but still worth rotating).

Experiments have shown that the carrot onion thing does work - but only if you have four rows of onions to every row of carrots. And it only works while the onions are actively growing. Since the whole point is to prevent carrot fly, just grow your carrots under horticultural fleece IF carrot fly is a problem - it may not be!
Most companion planting has not been scientifically proven and seems to be mostly anecdotal. Sort out the crop rotation first, add some pretty flowers to attract pollinating and pest-predating insects and take it from there.
Good luck!

I use the carrot/onion rotation, it has worked. But you could plant Tagetes as well, only it may be a waste of valuable veggie space. Ive also interplanted with chives, garlic and leeks.

You really need to keep onions well weeded - so not ideal to grow with carrots, in my opinion. I grow dill with carrots, it's strongly scented and not affected by rotation. I also like it and use lots

Agree - organise major crop rotation (alliums, brassica and solanums) first. Then experiment with some companion planting if you like, and see what results you get.
We practice two sorts of companion planting on our veg plot:
1. Mixing veg that grow well together e.g. corn, beans and squash; carrots and tomatoes; celeriac and leeks; beetroot and kolrabi.
2. Interplanting with herbs and non-edible plants that repel predators and attract pollinating insects e.g. borage and runner beans; summer savory and beans; mint, nettles and tomatoes; sage and brassica. If you have beds, you can plant these at the end where the path is, and not lose cultivated space
The first year we planted summer savory in among the beans, and no flea beetle
so carried on with tagetes and borage. This year we'll be even more adventurous. There's so much to learn, yay!

I had the same problem when I was writing my Vegetable Gardeners Almanac software (see my site). I had built into the program checks for crop rotation and then I bought Carrots love Tomatoes and Roses love Garlic by Louise Riotte - the companion planters guru. I tries to draw up a chart about what could be grown with what and what combinations to avoid. The material contradicted itself and it became clear that it was very inconsistent and impossible to follow. I gave up on trying to incorporate it in the program. As the author states 'Companion Planting is a Mystery'. Well, crop rotation is a science. 'nuf said.

Good crop rotation is essential to avoid a build up of soil borne pests and diseases. It also help to balance the nutrient levels in the soil. It is vital for healthy soil, and without healthy soil, your crops will not flourish.
Companion planting is a nice idea, but seems to be aimed mostly at flying nasties attracted by the smell of their host plant (an oversimplification i know).
If you can do both, great and you are a better planner than i am. Always go for rotation above companions.

I saw a TV program on growing your own veg the other night, that talked about companion planting, highlighting the '3 sisters' corn, beans and squash.
If I was to try and do that, and be a good rotator to boot, would they come under the legumes part of the cycle or what? cheers

Neither. It is such a hungry combination that you would have to grow it on your manure pile!

I grow squash in among my sweetcorn, replacing a sweetcorn plant every metre. It allows the squash to trail over the ground around the sweetcorn. This is a good use of space but not necessarily companiion planting. I haven't added beans to the mix. It is possible but as pointed out is hungry.
