The Southern Alps & Riviera
WORDS & PHOTOS: Max Leonard
"Don't tell anyone," says John, as we stand halfway up the Col de Turini, 25km and a world away from Nice on the chi-chi Cote d'Azur. He is reluctant to publicise the gloriously empty mountain roads, for fear of a glut of cyclists spoiling the solitude.
We're cycling the cols in the Alpes Maritimes, where the mountains meet the Med and you can, as on Lance's favourite training col, the Madone, climb from the beach to 927 metres in 14 km. But, I point out, he's helping spoil the secret: as a guide for Cycle Cote d'Azur, a company run by a former Rapha/La Fuga Randonnée leader, he's charged with taking groups out into these mountains.
There's also Graeme Fife. I've never met Graeme, but I've ridden with him before. His Rapha-published tomes – on the Pyrenees, and more recently on the Southern Alps – are marvellously personal guides, Graeme an avuncular authority behind the text. Without him, I would never have dived off the Soulor to climb the Col de Spandelles, nor then taken a rough logging track up to the Coraduque – highlights of that trip to the Pyrenees.
The Great Road Climbs of the Southern Alps has no pretension to being encyclopaedic, and when Graeme glosses over a col it almost seems a challenge to find out more. As is the case with the beautiful Col de Braus, and its tidily stacked switchbacks. At its summit there is a memorial to René Vietto, winner of the polka dot jersey in 1934 and a legendary hardman. René lost a toe to sepsis rather than pull out of the 1947 Tour and reportedly ordered his domestique, Apo Lazarides, to amputate one of his own, the better to understand the pain and suffering necessary to excel.
But today doesn't seem like suffering. The sun is out, the pine forests scent the climbs, and the stress of a week of 11-hour days in a windowless office in Cannes drains from the legs with each pedal stroke. We cycle through tiny villages perchés, see cows out to pasture, and pass under a bridge that leads only to a chapel high on a ridge, presiding over the deep gorge we've just climbed. Glimpsing white-capped peaks, we climb up to the Col de Turini, where at 1,607m patches of snow still sit by the road, melting in the heat.
Cycling from the seaside has a certain neatness, and certain compensations – here, a 47km downhill from the top of Turini, back to the Promenade des Anglais, where we must negotiate cars, scooters and crowds. After the emptiness above even the street furniture seems intrusive. Graeme mentions in his Southern Alps volume meeting a local rider who says something similar: "Down there, on the coast, you're braking the whole time because of the traffic, but up here it's quiet, the roads are empty, the birds are singing."
We say goodbye and John peels off towards his apartment, leaving me with 35 congested kilometres along the coast back to Cannes. "Don't tell anyone," he repeats, as he leaves.

Most helpful review
Sheer class --- a work of art.
By roncoach (370 reviews) from suffolk , 30 Nov 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
In every film afficianados top 20 films of all time, I suppose. And I cannot disagree. In fact, many viewers would have great difficulty in arguing against a commonly-held view that this is the best film ever made ( and when you set it against 'Citizen Kane' this movie would certainly get my vote over Orson Welles' over-rated offering). Actually, 'Gone With The Wind' is not my favourite film of all time, but there is no doubt that it is a superlative movie on every level.
Of all the millionas of words ever written about this film, I suspect the main controversy lies in whether Vivien Leigh was the correct choice to play Scarlett. I often pose the question to myself and try to picture Paulette Goddard (because she would have been my personal choice at the time of production) but I find it to be a completely fruitless exercise. The movie is perfect and Vivien Leigh IS Scarlett O'Hara --- and that just ends any controversy.
Gable was born to play his role and, of all the other perfectly-cast players, I would single out Leslie Howard who seems to have stepped straight out of Margaret Mitchell's mind and onto the screen.
It's not very often, with a long epic film, that a viewer longs for an extra hour to be added on to an already very long film. But that is what this particular viewer has always wished LOL.
Nothing to say that hasn't been said already over the last 70 years. We've all seen it, we all love it and we always will.
I suppose there must be some Mongolian yak-herder who hasn't seen it (or even one of our younger viewers brought up on 'teenagers spend the night in a morgue with vampires'). Sell all your yaks, throw out your teenage vampire films and watch a work of art that will stay at the top of the ratings forever.- Was this review helpful to you?

(90)A solid epic romance with universal themes.
By Lazenbear (1 review) , 21 Nov 2013An epic movie in every sense of the word, this movie is both influential and peerless. For those who aren't aware, this movie is a love story between the vain, manipulative and immature Scarlett O'Hara (played excellently by Vivian Leigh) and the charming and debonair but rascally Rhett Butler (with a career best performance by Clark Gable) all the while the American Civil War unfolds around them. Being fairly young, I never looked upon this movie with the reverence that many older critics give it but even I can see the importance of this movie and how well it is done. The only thing that ever really escaped me is why anyone would really like Scarlett? She seems like a total self centred cow and part of the fun is seeing how she grows up from a self centred teenager into a ruthless career woman. I think this movie is less of a love story but a story about survivors. Scarlett is totally unprepared for the events that unfold around her but she steps up to the challenge by using her beauty and her chutzpah to stay a top the social ladder. Meanwhile characters that should be fine are brought down by their own code of ethics and their sense of decency. To me that had a lot of resonance in the modern world about how those with the money are the ones who take on more of Scarlett's attributes. I really enjoyed it, but it was a little too long. There were no extras on the DVD to speak of so it really is just the movie.- Was this review helpful to you?

Cinematic legend
By Niknoks (18 reviews) from Bexhill-on-Sea , 17 Mar 2013My all time favourite film. This film is the ultimate love story. Vivien Leigh cast as Scarlett was genius. Having already auditioned half of Hollywood royalty, it was a British actress who landed the plum role, and rightly so. She played it so well, i hated the character for half the film for being such a spoilt and indulged miss. The rest was a respect for such a determined woman. Stunning actress and a talent that has few competitors. Rhett Butler could not have being played by anyone whatsoever other than Clark Gable. He oozes charm, smarm and ooh la la! (I think he was my first cinematic crush!!) De Havilland was superb as Melanie, the kind hearted and forgiving woman. I really cannot emphasise enough just what an experience it was and is watching this film over the years. If you have not watched this yet, you really need to. You will never forget it, and will never wish to.- Was this review helpful to you?

Books of Samuel
The two Books of Samuel (Hebrew: Sefer Shmuel ספר שמואל) are part of a series of Old Testament books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings) making up a theological history of the Israelites that affirm and explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.[1]
The first Book of Samuel begins with a description of the prophet Samuel's birth and of how God called to him as a boy. The story of the Ark of the Covenant that follows tells of Israel's oppression by the Philistines, which brings about Samuel's anointing of Saul as Israel's first king. But Saul proves unworthy and God's choice turns to David, who defeats Israel's enemies and brings the Ark to Jerusalem. God then promises David and his successors an eternal dynasty.[2]
According to Jewish tradition the book was written by Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan. Modern scholarly thinking is that the books originated by combining a number of independent texts of various ages when the larger Deuteronomistic history (the Former Prophets plus Deuteronomy) was being composed in the period c.630–540 BCE.[3][4]
See Book of Samuel at Bible Gateway
The childless Hannah vows to Yahweh that if she has a son, he will be dedicated to Yahweh. Eli, the priest of Shiloh (where the ark of the covenant is located), blesses her, and a child named Samuel is born. Samuel is dedicated to the Lord as a Nazirite, the only Nazirite beside Samson to be identified in the Old Testament. Eli's sons, Hopini and Phinehas, prove unworthy of the priesthood and are destroyed by God, but the child Samuel grows up "in the presence of the Lord."
The Philistines capture the Ark of the Covenant from Shiloh and take it to the temple of their idol Dagon, who recognises the supremacy of Yahweh. The Philistines are afflicted with plagues and return the ark to the Israelites, but to the territory of the tribe of Benjamin rather than to Shiloh. The Philistines attack the Israelites gathered at Mizpah in Benjamin. Samuel appeals to Yahweh, the Philistines are decisively beaten, and the Israelites reclaim their lost territory.
In Samuel's old age, he appoints his sons as judges, but they are unworthy, and so the people clamour for a king. God reluctantly accedes and gives them Saul of the tribe of Benjamin. Saul defeats the enemies of the Israelites, but commits sins against Yahweh.
Yahweh tells Samuel to anoint David of Bethlehem as king, and David enters Saul's court as his armour-bearer and harpist. Saul's son and heir Jonathan befriends David and recognises him as rightful king. Saul plots David's death, but David flees into the wilderness, where he becomes a champion of the Hebrews. David joins the Philistines, but continues secretly to champion his own people, until Saul and Jonathan are killed in battle. At this point, David offers a majestic eulogy, where he praises the bravery and magnificence of both his brother Jonathan and King Saul.
The elders of Judah anoint David as king, but in the north Saul's son Ishbaal rules over the northern tribes. After a long war Ishbaal is murdered hoping for reward from David, but David has them killed for killing God's anointed. David is then anointed King of all Israel. David captures Jerusalem and brings the Ark there. David wishes to build a temple, but Nathan tells him that one of David's sons will be the one to build the temple. David defeats the enemies of Israel, slaughtering Philistines, Moabites, Edomites, Syrians and Arameans.
David commits adultery with Bathsheba and plots the death of her husband; for this God punishes him, saying that the sword shall never depart from his house. For the remainder of his reign there are problems: one of his sons rapes one of his daughters, another son kills the first, his favourite son rebels and is killed, until finally only two contenders for the succession remain, one of them Bathsheba's son Solomon. 1 Kings then relates how, as David lies dying, Bathsheba and the prophet Nathan ensure Solomon's elevation to the throne.
1 and 2 Samuel were originally (and still are in some Jewish bibles[5]) a single book, but the first Greek translation, produced in the centuries immediately before Christ, divided it into two; this was adopted by the Latin translation used in the early Christian church of the West, and finally introduced into Jewish bibles around the early 16th century CE.[6] The modern Hebrew text (called the Masoretic text) differs considerably from the Greek, and scholars are still working at finding the best solutions to the many problems this presents.[7]
Authorship and date of composition[edit]
According to Jewish tradition the book was written by Samuel up until 1 Samuel 25, where Samuel dies, and the remainder by the prophets Gad and Nathan.[8] Critical scholars from the 19th century onward have rejected this idea, and instead argue that Samuel, like many other books of the bible is a composite work that developed into its current "fixed" form (or forms) over several centuries.
Early biblical scholars sought to identify various strata of Samuel with "J" and "E" (Jahwist and Elohist) sources. This, view, while popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has fallen out of currency.[9] On the other hand, the "fragmentary hypothesis" first posited by H. Gressman remains influential among scholars.[10]
A somewhat different and still popular approach was taken by Martin Noth, who in 1943 theorized that Samuel was composed as part of the Deuteronomistic history (Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings).[11] Although Noth's belief that the entire History was composed by a single individual has been largely abandoned, the theory that the History was an attempt to compile a continuous history from the time of the settlement of Canaan to the Babylonian exile (i.e., Joshua through Kings), by interweaving various sources into a cohesive unit, has been adopted by most scholars.[12]
The current scholarly consensus argues for multiple authors active over a considerable period, culminating in the mid-6th century.[13] These 6th century authors and editors would have drawn on many earlier and well-known sources, including (but not limited to) an "ark narrative" (1 Samuel 4:1–7:1 and perhaps part of 2 Samuel 6), a "Saul cycle" (parts of 1 Samuel 9-11 and 13–14), the "history of David's rise" (1 Samuel 16:14-2 Samuel 5:10), and the "succession narrative" (2 Samuel 9–20 and 1 Kings 1–2).[14] The oldest of these, the "ark narrative," may even predate the Davidic era.[15]
However, while the bulk of the narrative in Samuel may have been completed by the 6th century, further editing was apparently done even after that. For example, the silver quarter-shekel which Saul's servant offers to Samuel in 1 Samuel 9 almost certainly fixes the date of this story in the Persian or Hellenistic periods.[16]
The sources used to construct 1 & 2 Samuel are believed to include the following:[17]
- Call of Samuel or Youth of Samuel (1 Samuel 1–7): From Samuel's birth his career as Judge and prophet over Israel. This source includes the Eli narrative and part of the ark narrative.[18]
- Ark narrative (1 Samuel 4:1b-7:1 and 2 Samuel 6:1–20): the ark's capture by the Philistines in the time of Eli and its transfer to Jerusalem by David – opinion is divided over whether this is actually an independent unit.[19]
- Jerusalem source: a fairly brief source discussing David conquering Jerusalem from the Jebusites.
- Republican source: a source with an anti-monarchial bias. This source first describes Samuel as decisively ridding the people of the Philistines, and begrudgingly appointing an individual chosen by God to be king, namely Saul. David is described as someone renowned for his skill at playing the harp, and consequently summoned to Saul's court to calm his moods. Saul's son Jonathan becomes friends with David, which some commentators view as romantic, and later acts as his protector against Saul's more violent intentions. At a later point, having been deserted by God on the eve of battle, Saul consults a medium at Endor, only to be condemned for doing so by Samuel's ghost, and told he and his sons will be killed. David is heartbroken on discovering the death of Jonathan, tearing his clothes apart.
- Monarchial source: a source with a pro-monarchial bias and covering many of the same details as the republican source. This source begins with the divinely appointed birth of Samuel. It then describes Saul as leading a war against the Ammonites, being chosen by the people to be king, and leading them against the Philistines. David is described as a shepherd boy arriving at the battlefield to aid his brothers, and is overheard by Saul, leading to David challenging Goliath and defeating the Philistines. David's warrior credentials lead to women falling in love with him, including Michal, Saul's daughter, who later acts to protect David against Saul. David eventually gains two new wives as a result of threatening to raid a village, and Michal is redistributed to another husband. At a later point, David finds himself seeking sanctuary amongst the Philistine army and facing the Israelites as an enemy. David is incensed that anyone should have killed Saul, even as an act of mercy, since Saul was anointed by Samuel, and has the individual responsible killed.
- Court History of David or Succession narrative (2 Samuel 9–20 and 1 Kings 1–2): a "historical novel", in Alberto Soggin's phrase, telling the story of David's reign from his affair with Bathsheba to his death. The theme is of retribution: David's sin against Uriah the Hittite is punished by God through the destruction of his own family,[20] and its purpose is to serve as an apology for the coronation of Bathsheba's son Solomon instead of his older brother Adonijah.[21]
- Redactions: additions by the redactor to harmonize the sources together; many of the uncertain passages may be part of this editing.
- Various: several short sources, none of which have much connection to each other, and are fairly independent of the rest of the text. Many are poems or pure lists.
The Hebrew text of Samuel is heavily corrupted with errors (meaning that scribes, over the centuries, have introduced many mistakes while copying the original version), while in addition the Greek and Hebrew versions differ considerably; modern scholars are still working at finding the best solutions to the many problems this presents.[7]
The Book of Samuel is a theological evaluation of kingship in general and of dynastic kingship and David in particular.[22] The main themes of the book are introduced in the opening poem (the "Song of Hannah"): (1), the sovereignty of Yahweh, God of Israel; (2), the reversal of human fortunes; and (3), kingship.[23] These themes are played out in the stories of the three main characters, Samuel, Saul and David.
Samuel answers the description of the "prophet like Moses" predicted in Deuteronomy 18:15–22: like Moses, he has direct contact with Yahweh, the God of the Israelites, acts as a judge, and is a perfect leader who never makes mistakes.[24] Samuel's successful defence of the Israelites against their enemies demonstrates that they have no need for a king (who will, moreover, introduce inequality), yet despite this the people demand a king. But the king they are given is Yahweh's gift, and Samuel explains that kingship can be a blessing rather than a curse if they remain faithful to their God. On the other hand, total destruction of both king and people will result if they turn to wickedness.[11]
Saul is the chosen one, a king appointed by Yahweh, God of Israel, and anointed by Samuel, Yahweh's prophet, and yet he is ultimately rejected.[25] Saul loses the chance to establish his dynasty and even to continue to reign through two faults: he carries out a sacrifice in place of Samuel (1 Samuel 13:8–14), and he fails to carry out complete genocide against the Amalekites as God has ordered (1 Samuel 15).[26] Instead, Saul spared their livestock in order to sacrifice them to God properly. The Deuteronomist's negative view of Saul and desire to show David as the first real king of Israel has obscured Saul's real achievements.[27]
One of the main units within Samuel is the "History of David's Rise", the purpose of which is to justify David as the legitimate successor to Saul.[28] The narrative stresses that he gained the throne lawfully, always respecting "the Lord's anointed" (i.e. Saul) and never taking any of his numerous chances to seize the throne by violence.[29] As God's chosen king over Israel David is also the son of God ("I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me..." – 2 Samuel 7:14).[30] God enters into an eternal covenant (treaty) with David and his line, promising divine protection of the dynasty and of Jerusalem through all time.[31] The story can be compared to that of a 13th-century Hittite king who was forced to take the throne after a lifetime of loyalty when his life was in danger: like David, he was assisted by his god, whose divine will decided the course of events.[29]

Fresh berries can be costly to purchase from the supermarket and are not always in season. It's easy to grow your own berries, and store-purchased berries cannot compare to the fresh off-the-vine taste of berries grown at home. Berries taste best when they are sun-ripened in season. Many types of berries are easy to grow in most parts of the country. Blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries are just a few of the favorites grown by gardeners. Learn how to grow your own berries with the help of this berry gardening guide.
Growing your own berries can seem challenging to even seasoned gardeners. Berries require continuous pruning and spraying for disease and insects. It's best to start with an easy berry to grow – blueberries. These healthy, tasty fruits are simple to grow. Just amend the soil, plant the blueberry bush, mulch, and water. No spraying, pruning, or other maintenance is necessary. Raspberries are also one of the easiest – and most rewarding – berries to grow at home. With the right gardening techniques, raspberries can grow between four and six feet tall. Anyone can learn how to grow berries, even beginners with little or no prior gardening experience.
There are many advantages to growing your own berries. Food that is grown and harvested at home is the freshest you can get. The vitamins, enzymes, and minerals will maintain their presence longer; therefore, eating it sooner can provide you with additional nutrition. Growing your own berries is also safer than buying them in a store. Most commercial berries are sprayed with dangerous toxins, pesticides, and even fungicides. Adverse effects can occur from certain pesticides, such as cancer, brain damage, nerve damage, and hormonal imbalances.
Berries should be planted according to the type of fruit. For example, strawberries are best when planted during the early spring (late March to April). Blueberry harvest in North America can vary, starting as early as May and ending during the late summer. The planting times of berries will depend on weather conditions and locations also. Most types of berries require sunlight to grow, so choosing a large area in a sunny location is ideal for successful berry growth. It may be best to put short fencing around the berry bushes to keep out pets and wild animals.
Many home berries are attacked by insects and are susceptible to disease. Often, these infestations are well established before the gardener even realizes. Sanitation is critical to keep many plant diseases maintained. Diseased berries should be picked from bushes and from the ground. Destroy the infectious berries, especially brown rot or scab-diseased berries, to prevent a spread of disease to other plants. Prune out any other destroyed berries from the plants.
Just as many berry fruits approach their maturity and are ready to be picked, there are many fruit-eating insects that will contaminate the berry product. Some of these common berry-eating insects include earwigs, stink bugs, lygus bugs, grasshoppers, and various species of fruit-eating wasps. Perform frequent examinations of fruits as they ripen, two to three times per week, by shaking the canes to dislodge any insects. If any damaging insects are found, it's important to eliminate them using a common insecticide application. It's best to select insecticides that have low toxicity to humans, including those that contain neem oil and spinosad. Some conventional insecticides that will help deter fruit-eating insects include malathion, carbaryl, esfenvalerate, and permethrin.
Being able to go outdoors in your backyard in the summertime and pick your own tasty berries is a great treat. Home-grown berries not only taste great, but are also good for you – providing families with a healthy diet of vitamin C and many antioxidants. Most types of berries are easy to prepare: Simply pick them from the berry bush and run them under cold water to remove any dirt. Berries can be used for many different dishes, ranging from desserts, to yogurts, cereals, breads, smoothies, and even wines. They can also be frozen, to use throughout the year. Learn more about growing different types of berries with the following resources.

| Posted by Lisa M. | (Peoria, AZ)I ordered the Grillcraft grill for my boyfriend's Acura RSX after already having a set of my own on my Scion tC. The quality of grillcraft grill is above expectations with step by step installation instructions with both text and pictures. The grills are made extremely sturdy and the black finish is impeccable. I purchased the grillcraft grills knowing that they will last and look great for a long time. The full grill set on my tC has a "like new" appearance still after 1.5 years. The fitment on the RSX follows the body lines and looks great. I would highly recommend Grillcraft to anyone looking for a clean look that will look great for many years.

Subterranean Masquerade
Suspended Animation Dreams
Here's an album of well played, pristinely produced music that I can't entirely get into. Featuring members of November's Doom and Epoch of Unlight, Subterranean Masquerade are a progressive metal group in that they sound like a lot of other established progressive metal groups. What I'm saying is they aren't really progressive at all, and sound like a not so great combination of Opeth, Agalloch, and Pink Floyd. And, while the group bounds for originality through the use of some unconventional instrumentation, choral backing vocals, and the trademark gutturals of Paul Kuhr, all these additions chip at the foundation of Suspended Animation Dreams' already shaky song structures.
I should preface my criticism for Subterranean Masquerade by pointing out that I am very critical of inconsistency. That goes for pretty much everything. I don't appreciate chefs who try to mask subpar recipes with a host of unsavory embellshments, and I certainly don't go for metal bands trying to turn boring songs into something epic by throwing in saxophone and harmonica solos. To my ears, that's exactly what this band is doing. To their credit, they can play their shit. The saxophone part that opens "Wolf Among Sheep" is executed with the ease of a world class studio musician with a pony-tail. Unfortunately, the resulting atmosphere is pure elevator. "Rock and Roll Preacher" is a nine minute marathon which features Kuhr's heaviest use of his November's Doom vocal styling. Unfortunately, the music isn't nearly dark enough to suit Kuhr's vocals and make me wonder if the band even understands the purpose of the death metal growl. And that's basically the entire problem with this entire album, Subterranean Masquerade sound like they are doing things because they can, not because they should.
But when Subterranean Masquerade aren't stuffing their roasted turkey with M&M's, there are hints of a very classy band. "Six Strings to Cover Fear" is deft combination of Agalloch's mesmerizing harmonic strumming and Porcupine Tree's orchestrated lead work. It's a shame the band isn't able to rely on the straightforwardness of a song like this more often, as it might make for a solid album. "X" closes the album, and is probably the best thing the band has to offer. It's miles away from metal, but the interplay between the casual drum work and silky smooth vocals of a young lady who sounds like a dead ringer for Sade is a clinic in subdued songcraft.
This album is particularly frustrating because Subterranean Masquerade appear capable of a lot more. Over-ambition, lack of confidence, short sightedness, whatever, there's too much going on that simply doesn't add anything to the songs. I do look forward to more material from these guys, though, because they feature members of some of my favorite bands. But, I doubt I'll ever listen to anything but a few tracks off of Suspended Animation Dreams again.

• 2 8-ounce NY strip steaks, trimmed of excess fat• chopped Romaine or Iceberg lettuce as needed (approx. 8 cups)• tomato wedges as needed (approx. 2 large tomatoes)• thinly sliced red onion as needed• sliced cucumber as needed (deseeded first if you like)• pitted Kalamata olives as needed (approx. 1 - 1 1/2 cups)• crumbled feta cheese as needed (approx. 1 1 /2 cups)
For the dressing:• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil• 3 Tbs red wine vinegar• 1 small clove garlic, minced• 1/2 tsp dried oregano• 1/2 tsp dried basil• crack of black pepper
1. Use a mixing bowl to combine 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil with 3 Tbs red wine vinegar, 1 small minced clove of garlic, 1/2 tsp dried oregano and 1/2 tsp dried basil, add a crack of black pepper and whisk it up.
2. Spoon a little dressing over the top of the steaks and flip those around in the dressing and set them aside to marinate.
3. Make sure you wash your hands after handling the raw meat and you'll need to get the grill going and take a few minutes to cut up the ingredients for the salad.
4. There are no exact amounts for a salad like this but you'll need to chop up some Romaine or Iceberg lettuce, you'll need some pitted Kalamata olives and some crumbled feta cheese, you need to cut some tomatoes into wedges, thinly slice a little red onion and it's up to you whether or not you want to deseed the cucumber before cutting it into bite size pieces.
5. The steaks won't take very long to cook since they're so thin, you just want to cook them evenly on both sides. Then, once they're cooked to your liking, take them off the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
6. Once the steak has rested, toss all of the salad ingredients together with as much dressing as you like, and then top each salad with some thinly sliced steak and a little more crumbled feta cheese if you like.
HINTS: Use bottled dressing instead if you like. Substitute salmon or chicken for the beef steaks.

From burgers to tacos to spaghetti sauce, the list of recipes using ground meat is practically endless. So is the variety of ground beef and poultry products available at the grocery store, which can make picking healthy options confusing. Today, choosing good-for-you protein gets a little easier. A new USDA rule requires all packages of ground or chopped meat and poultry to feature nutrition facts panels on their labels.
"It's the same information you already find on most other food products," says Elisabeth Hagen, MD, secretary for food safety for the USDA. "The panel will clearly state calories, total fat and saturated fat, protein, and sodium." Additionally, any product that lists a lean percentage statement, such as "90% lean," must also state the fat percentage ("10% fat").
More: How to Read Food Labels
Whole, raw cuts of meat and poultry—think steaks or chicken breasts—got an upgrade as well. They now have nutrition facts panels either on their package labels or at the point of purchase in the form of posters, videos, pamphlets, or cards.
"We want to make it as quick and easy as possible for busy Americans to make healthy choices when they shop," says Hagen.
More: 8 Ways to Avoid Sneaky Supermarket Tricks
USDA dietary guidelines recommend that each day, adults eat 5 to 6 ounces of lean protein (slightly more if you exercise regularly). (Search: What are the best sources of protein?) For ground meats and poultry, choose at least 90% lean, 10% fat—and 95%/5% is even better. Low-fat whole cuts include boneless, skinless chicken breasts and turkey cutlets; beef top round and top sirloin; and pork tenderloin.

Excited about Fake Shark, Real Zombie. I hope they chart "Monday Tuesday what the f@#$,..."
Great thread.
It would be nice if you could format the newly added items differently for a little while (maybe an * at start) so one can continuously look here and see what was added.
Ha ha, would love to do some of their older stuff off Zebra Zebra! Not too sure how well it would work in a T-for-Teen game, though, with every other word censored. Glad to hear you're a fan. Their second track we've worked on for them, "Sestri Levante", has just been approved as well. With any luck, we'll have at least one, and maybe two more ready for launch.

Great, another awesome topic I'll have to check every day for updates.
Sweet, Another California Song!

The Modern Skirts? Why this is wonderful news! insta-buy for me.
With the addition of Rose of Jericho - "Buried Cold" we've finally surpassed 20 tracks.

My husband and I are currently enjoying a long weekend on Long Island. It's our last day here and I'm ready for breakfast so I'm going to keep this post short! We went wine tasting along the North Fork yesterday – a lovely way to spend a gorgeous sunny day. It was in the mid to upper 60′s and not a cloud in the sky. This was a very fun day trip and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting this area. The vineyards and surrounding scenery are beautiful. There is a vineyard every 1-2 miles along the main road so there are a lot of options and would also make a great bike trip!
We visited Palmer Vineyards, Shinn Vineyards, and Macari Vineyards. All great options for Red Wines and we bought some bottles from each. On the way home we also stopped at the Village Cheese Shop to bring home some cheese to enjoy with the wine!
We're off to enjoy the island for one more day!

Sometimes when driving across a state, you run into topography that seems a little out of place. For Iowa, it's the Loess Hills, which stand out even in comparison to the hilly ground of southwest Iowa's cow-calf country. These hills are made of deposits of loess that aren't found in this amount anywhere else, with the exception of China's Loess Plateau. Interestingly, these hills also support wildlife that would normally be found on the Great Plains further west. This…Continue Reading

Many have made the case of the need for reducing soil erosion, perhaps most…Continue Reading
Despite living in Kansas City since October, I hadn't realized until recently the amount of green space in between pockets of development. This has been more apparent with warmer weather. In a phone conversation with Clay County Extension community development specialist Crystal Weber, she said Kansas City is actually one of the least developed cities in the country. In cases like this, the hinterland can be somewhat hard to determine – it's not quite clear where rural ends and…Continue Reading

Cablevision has pulled WPIX 11, along with three other stations owned by the Tribune Company, over a dispute about getting a new carriage agreement.
"Tribune and their hedge fund owners are demanding tens of millions in new fees for WPIX and other stations they own," Cablevision said in a statement, which was published by The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press and other media outlets. That statement, according to various published reports, added that Tribune is "trying to solve Tribune's financial problems on the backs of Cablevision customers."
Tribune counters that Cablevision unfairly pulled the channel.
"Tonight, while in the middle of negotiations with Tribune and without warning, Cablevision unilaterally removed four Tribune stations in four markets from its cable systems," according to a statment posted on the company's website. "Cablevison took this action despite our offer of an unconditional extension of the current carriage agreement with no change in terms while negotiations continued. To be clear, Tribune was willing to provide Cablevision subscribers access to the valuable programming on these stations while working toward a new agreement. Tribune never made any threat to withdraw these stations or any demand that Cablevision remove them."
Tribune also added, in its online statement, that Cablevision is not paying its fair share.
"Tribune makes a substantial annual investment in local news, live sports and high-quality entertainment programming. Cablevision has never compensated Tribune for the retransmission of its local stations, which are among the most highly watched channels on Cablevision's line-ups. What we have proposed amounts to less than a penny a day per subscriber, well below what Cablevision pays to providers of less well-watched channels."
Some have felt that losing PIX is unfair given that customers pay to see it for their cable service.
Nicole Saracino, a Mount Kisco resident, was among them, feeling that it's a shame customers are not getting the service that they paid.
"They fight like this all the time," said Scott Meyer, a Hartsdale resident. He felt that both sides were being greedy.
Editor's Note: Patch has a partnership with PIX 11, called "Patch on PIX," where the station features major stories from Patch sites in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. This story has also been updated to reflect person-on-the-street reactions.
What do you think? Is Cablevision right to drop WPIX, or is it being unreasonable? Vote in our poll and sound off in our comments section.

Election Day Polling Places May Change, Paper Ballots Possible
Several polling sites, however, may change depending on the damage to regular locations such as schools.
According to Newsday, election officials are working to determine whether several of Long Island's more than 700 polling places will be operable.
Sixty-eight of Nassau County's 376 polling sites are located in federal flood zones.
Flood-damaged areas in Long Beach, which has 30,000 voters and 12 polling sites, are among the biggest concerns.
In a worst-case scenario, Democratic Board of Elections Commissioner William Biamonte said some sites could use paper ballots.
It is unlikely that Election Day would be postponed because of Sandy, reported Newsday.

Harvey WHO? Where has hell has Mr. nobody fights harder for the past week??? Long Beach looks like a nuclear test site and the most urgent news and information our fearless leader has to offer is that we have another week to vote for him. Fat chance of that ever happening.
November 02, 2012 at 06:16 AM
Poor communication, changed polling places, paper ballots - this has all of the earmarks of a potentially disastrous Election Day. Thanks for nothing, LIPA.
November 02, 2012 at 08:26 AM
Right on Stanley - self promoting career politicians need to be replaced. Term limits, term limits, term limits. The condition of LB is deteriorating by the minute - and exactly where is he? Looting, violence, price gouging etc. Next the scam artists will be around to help us rebuild.
Hey Harvey - step up to the plate - show us some leadership skills pronto!

I cannot get to long beach but I am glad to know county made an effort to accommodate those of us who want to vote ... yes I do think term limits are a good thing
November 02, 2012 at 09:32 AM
I just called nassau county board of elections at the above #. Was told ballot has to be back by Nov. 5. This is friday the 2nd. How do they expect us to download an application for absentee ballot, receive it in the mail and get it back to them all by Monday. When I called NYS Board of elections on wednesday I was told they were still working on a plan. The biggest election of our lifetime and we basically can't vote.

Maria Stanton
November 02, 2012 at 07:34 PM
so here's what I know about voting so far ... you can print an application for absentee voting online but you cannot vote online or fax your vote and ofcourse there is no time for county elections board to mail you a ballot ... BUT you can "absentee" vote in person at Nassau County Board of Elections, 240 Old Country Road, Mineola any time between now and Monday evening, November 5th at 10:00 p.m. The Board of Elections will be open every day (including Saturday November 3rd and Sunday November 4th) from 7 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ... this is best they could do and it will not accommodate everyone ... hopefully I will be able to get to long beach to check by home, empty refrig and get some necessities this weekend and go to Mineola to vote ... if you have any questions call the very nice elections board office t 516-571-2411. ... be well! and vote if you can!

November 02, 2012 at 07:54 PM
Personally, I hate to say it, but the election should be postponed. There are so many people who do not have transportation to get to their usual polling place to begin with. If the location is moved, how exactly is that supposed to get communicated with no power, telephone, internet, etc for so many New Yorkers. We have family in Pennsylvania and Ohio who still do not have power as well. Do these people's votes not count?!? Seriously.
November 03, 2012 at 03:10 PM

Perhaps you mean the 2000 election when thousands of scheming, whining, and conniving transplanted NY dirtbags in Florida concocted the hanging chads,dimpled chads, and pregnant chads? They gave that ballot to 6 year old children to fill out and they had no problem. The transplanted NY low lives were too stupid to be allowed to vote BUT SHREWD ENOUGH to know how to "pull a fast one" when they though their benefits were threatened!

Motorcyclist injured when he lays his bike down
May 3, 2013
News-Register Staff
A motorcyclist was injured Thursday afternoon when he laid his 2004 Harley-Davidson down to avoid rear-ending a vehicle, according to McMinnville police.
Sgt. Tim Symons identified the victim as Steve P. Farley, 60, of 16801 S.W. Masonville Road, McMinnville. He gave this account:
Farley was riding northbound in the 2100 block of N.E. Lafayette Ave. when he took evasive action to avoid crashing into a vehicle that was part of a line of vehicles.
He was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Cascade Steel Rolling Mills property and then flown by a Life Flight helicopter to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He was reported in serious condition.
The incident remains under investigation and no citations have been issued. Officers have not had an opportunity to interview Farley, Symons said.

I was only going to do it once.
last year I trained all year, fundraised my heart out and did a jig daily as over 600 people donated to my first ride, which I did in honor of my daughter Lauren's 21st birthday and 15 year diaversary. I wasn't going to do it again.
But a funny thing happened on the way to a cure: folks started reaching out and asking me if they could ride with me this year. Now, with 20 new riders by my side, I'll be riding once again, this time at LaCrosse Wisconsin. I'm calling it the "River of Dreams Tour" since we'll ride 100 miles along the Mississippi River.
And I'm hoping you'll want to "ride along." Any donation is most appreciated, and every dollar raised goes to changing the lives of folks like my daughter. JDRF is hard at work on better tools for treatment of diabetes, and of course, a cure.
Lauren is a junior in college. My dream for her now is seeing her transition on to the workplace without as much of a daily struggle with Type 1 diabetes, and of course, some day having some grandchildren for me to play with. Did you know that even as little as 25 years ago this would be extremely difficult? It's still not easy, but with better tools like continuous glucose monitors and more that JDRF is working on, I should be a grandmother to Lauren's children one day in the future.
So consider your own dreams in life, and then consider tossing a donation into my "jar" by clicking on this page and donating.
I so appreciate your help. We will be known as the people who cured diabetes.

Red Fang Biography & News
About Red Fang
Red Fang sinks its teeth into 'Whales and Leeches' (Created 10/10/2013)
Red Fang certainly sounds like something more suited to a horror show, or a rabid animal or a costume meant for Halloween. But maybe that was the point for these hard rockers … though they've drawn plenty of attention based on their music alone.
The band is poised for the October 15, 2013 release of "Whales and Leeches," their third album and the follow-up to sophomore effort "Murder the Mountains." In advance of the release the men of Red Fang – Bryan Giles (guitar/vocals), Aaron Beam (bass/vocals), David Sullivan (guitar), and John Sherman (drums) – have a brand new single called "Blood Like Cream."
Yes, Red Fang is that kind of band. There's definitely been a play on words (sometimes as ghoulish and morbid, and generally as weird as one can manage). The guys have also had cuts like "Prehistoric Dog" and "Crows in Swine." To promote the tracks they played 2011's Metalliance tour that included bands like Crowbar and Helmet. The same year they also opened the Jagermeister stage on the annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival which featured headliners Megadeath, Godsmack and Disturbed.
In February 2013, Red Fang traveled to Australia to play the Australian Soundwave Festival and also performed at shows with legendary rocker band like Kyuss Lives and Orange Goblin. In fact, it's hard to predict exactly what's next or what the future might hold for Red Fang. They seem poised for a big breakout, and will be on tour in the UK and elsewhere beginning in March of 2014.
