State Budget

College presidents weigh in on budget cuts
Several university presidents visited the state Capitol to testify on the higher education budget.
Governor Rick Snyder has called for double-digit cuts to universities, but he says universities can recoup some of that if they find innovative ways to save taxpayers money.
Thomas Haas, president of Grand Valley State University, told lawmakers that universities have limited options when it comes to funding.
He says keeping tuition rates low also helps makes college more accessible to low-income students:
"Please remember there is a direct relationship between state aid and tuition. When there is more of one, we need less of the other," said Haas.
"In the long run, the best way for you to hold down tuition is to put all you can into higher education appropriations, permitting us to find financial aid for our neediest students."
University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman said higher education institutions understand the budget challenges the state faces, but she also could not promise to keep down tuition increases if there are big cuts in state aid to universities.

For those who don't know me or have never read any of my reviews, or even received any of my rates or even comments. You will probably find out once you get to know me that I'm a pretty aggressive reviewer ; I don't mean aggressive in a way like I'm quick to start a fight, instead I take reviewing very serious, and I even read and rate other people's reviews in the same manner. One of the two categories I'm very aggressive and even detailed in is video games, the other happens to be music. I'll cover the second at a later date.
My aim today is to help other reviewers into writing better video game reviews, or provide the foundation to those who have an interest in writing them. Now take note, I'm not telling anyone how to write their reviews; you can write your reviews anyway you please with the least amount of info or the most. Whatever flies your kite. But always remember, when you're writing these product reviews your responsibility is to provide accurate information to the consumers, and they are the people who are reading your reviews to make a purchase or maybe even reading them for entertainment purposes. If people come across your reviews and you have a habit of producing subpar work, then there's a possibility you won't gain many consistent readers and it may feel like you're writing for nothing. To my experience, you gain the most readers and rates when you put effort into what you're doing.
Now even though I've ran into people who consider me an "expert" at these things, even I take those claims with a grain of salt, because I re-read my reviews all the time and I see plenty of room for improvement. However, I do know how to craft together useful reviews, and now I'm going to take the time to help others do the same with my guide on writing video game reviews.
Video game reviews are among the most taxing, because they require far more info than movies and books. Serious gamers require a lot of detail to know if a game is for them, either to play at the moment, or is it something they can just put off for a while longer, so they can move on to something they been hearing to be much better.
Personally, this part comes second in my review but this should definitely be somewhere at the top of your review, and it should consist of the story and even some background of the game that will prove interesting to readers.
Bad Intro - This game is awesome it so rawks! I use to run home from school everyday and play this game. You will love it. Or, when I had cancer I loved this game.
Honestly, nobody cares about those things. And personally, I hate to see game reviews(or any reviews for that matter) opened up with nonsensical rants. It tells people you don't have anything to say and most reviews like these rarely do.
Good Intro - As a die hard fan of platformers and Super Mario Bros. It was a no brainer I would take a stab at the new Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS, especially since I seen the progress with the franchise for the Nintendo Wii when I played Super Mario Galaxy.
Are we on to something here? You just let everyone know you're a fan and at the same time you described why you wanted to play the game in the first place. You just grabbed the readers interest and set the tone for your whole review. Bad intros can put people off, and as a result you might not gain much positive feedback.
Every game has a story no matter how ridiculous it may be, or even some type of directions. You must let the person know what's going on. I usually open up my reviews with a quick summary explaining what's going on without major spoilers. I can't stand when people already expect you to know what's going on. How would you feel if there was only one review on a game you wanted to try, and you came out knowing just as much about it as you knew going in, which was absolutely nothing?
Bad story description - The story is awwwwwwwwweesum! There's nuthin lik ti!
Good story description - Taking place in modern New York City, a Pimp by the name of Slap runs the underworld with an iron fist. Dirty Joe Stink was beaten by Slap and his goons, and left for dead face first in a garbage can full of rats leaving him terribly chewed up and scarred. Completely driven mad, Dirty Joe Stink puts together a plan to systematically destroy Slap's entire operation and finish him off when he gets the chance.
It's obvious which approach is better. Give some detail to not only grip the readers interest, but also give your review credibility, thus piquing the interest of your readers to want to read more of your stuff.
Game Play
Bad Game Play description - Oh wow! You can do so many things here! You can steal cars! You can buy stuff! There aren't enough words to describe this!
Good Game Play Description - The game is a third person action/adventure shooter and you guide Joe Stink as he uses melee weapons as well as long range firearms to dispatch enemies. The AI is rather smart, and it forces you to utilize stealth in some cases. The game features some tough boss battles where strategy is your friend, and a war of attrition will get you killed more often than not. Plus there are side missions where you steal cars and run over bums for experience points. You earn far more when you crush them still sleeping in their cardboard boxes. The game features a death match that is rather lame, because the stages are pretty generic with very little by way of imagination.
Game play is the heart of your review. This should consist of no less about 70% of your review. I'm not saying you should add every single detail about it, but more than enough to give someone an idea on what they're getting into. Do you think the game is as ultra easy as Turtles in Time? Moderately difficult as Cave Story 3D? Or hard, maniacally hard, like Ultimate Ghosts n' Goblins?
The type of game is very important too ie; Roleplaying Game (RPG), First Person Shooter (FPS), Action/Adventure, Fighting etc. The system the game is available on or does it have to be downloaded. These things must be mentioned. Also, if the game features online play then give some description of it; if you don't like online play then you should note that to keep someone from questioning you about it. These are just some of the details that will greatly assist people in making a purchase.
This is an area that is more important then some folks realize, as I seen this left out of reviews several times. People have to know how well the game performs. However, in this area, some games require more detail than others depending on the type.
Bad Controls Description - Everything performs well. No problems here.
Good Controls Description- The controls use all of the buttons; shooting and switching weapons along with strafing performs very well for the most part. However, there's this sluggish feel when you're riding the vehicles, perhaps this was done intentionally to capture some type of realism. Personally, I don't like it.
The first description isn't totally bad, because this section varies heavily from game to game. Some games only use two or three buttons to shoot, jump, maybe swap weapons or increase speed. So it doesn't make much sense trying to add a whole lot. Here are five of my reviews on different games that provides very good examples on when to go in-depth in this area. Lightening Force (Space Shooter), Goldeneye 007 (First Person Shooter), Super Street Fighter IV (Fighting), Tetris Axis (Puzzle) Mario Kart DS (Racing).
Since the PS2 arrived I would say, graphics have become very important to the point where some people only buy games based on how pretty they look. I notice plenty of people overlook this area and summarize it in the simplest of ways. Personally, I try to go in as much detail as possible.
Bad Graphics Description - Everything looks great! I never seen anything better!
Good Graphics Description - The animation is pretty fluid with character movements, when Joe Stink unleashes a knife combo, you can see the attacks pretty clear with guts and body parts hitting the floor. I really enjoy the backgrounds in the cathedral; the lighting is well used in darker areas creating a certain ambiance that even produces a horror like feel. The character designs are pretty well detailed, especially for the whip wielding, handcuff wearing hookers. They have a very curvy and busty appearance you will see in X-Men comics. Lots of tits, lots of ass. I love it! This area would be perfect if not for one thing.... That miserable annoying camera. You can easily lose where you're at, and this is very problematic when you're being attacked by multiple assailants.
This is an area that took quite a bit of practice for me to get down, so I can understand when some folks dismiss it, but I don't agree with them doing it. Graphics are very important to mention. Here on this site lunch, I notice it's very easy to hide behind videos and pictures. But these do not provide any info at all if there's some type of slowdown or camera problems. You have to describe these. And if it's an RPG you're reviewing that features plenty of FMV's, it must receive a mention.
Bad Sound/Music Description - I love the music! I can play this game all day everyday just for the music.
Good Sound/Music Description - Although I find it appealing; the jazz soundtrack which is made up of saxophones and detuned bells are a very poor mix for such a frantic, very quick paced action game that even relies on some type of a horror like feel. The creative styles clash a great deal, and as a result, the game feels like it has two different personalities. The sound effects standout with a clear tearing sound when sharp, stainless steel is tearing through flesh and touching rib bone.
In today's games, the sound is very important. Do you hear the sneaker's screeching on the floor in a basketball game? Does the announcer have a bit to say? How's the voice acting in the RPG you just played? I know it can be hard for some people to describe music and sound, but it's a good idea to mention does the BGM even fit with the game, and if you can notice the sound. Example, the jazz BGM in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was always a poor fit to me, and I believe a rock track would have captured the zany feel of it. And if you take a game like Ninja Gaiden Sigma for example, you will notice a lot of authentic sound effects.
Bad Replay/Conclusion Description - I love this game so much and you will to!
Good Replay/Conclusion Description - The main game can be completed in x amount of time. There's a battle mode that held my attention for awhile, plus a second quest that I enjoyed which adds to the story. All in all, I think this will appeal to gamers looking for a challenge and great story.
It's good to cap off your review with some type of brief summary capturing your feelings of the game. You can combine your replay and conclusion or split them into two. It really doesn't matter, as long as you end your review giving reasons on why you liked or disliked a game. It's very aggravating to be left in limbo by a person who just delivered you unsure thoughts. Believe me, what you have to say means a lot more than your actual rating.
I will admit that on a site like this one, I may have wasted my typing breath putting this guide together. I notice here that high ratings are handed out like candy, and I really don't know what are people's motivation when doing that. However, there are other sites like epinions where you can actually earn some money for your reviews, and you have to be at the top of your game there. But let's say you can care less about money. Wouldn't you want people to at least be entertained by your musings? Like your work enough to go and read more leaving positive comments in the process? I know I do.
I didn't put this guide together as an ego trip; "I'm better than you and your reviews suck", that was not my intention. In fact, I have earlier reviews right now that I don't think live up to my newer standard. I may go back and fix them, or leave them alone so readers can see a difference and really know what I'm talking about.
I like to read and rate good video game reviews. Therefore, I hope this guide helps gamers out there who would love to write good and highly detailed reviews. And if you're already doing that and some of the tips I tossed in their help you into a better game reviewer, then that's even better. My game reviews were highly criticized at one point by individuals who knew more than I did. I didn't get all bent out of shape; I just worked on it and now I think my reviews are much better and very helpful. So happy gaming and happy reviewing.
You can access all my game reviews here - Video Game Reviews
Here are game reviewers I like to read in no particular order and I recommend you do the same, plus you can also reference their work if you don't like mine for whatever reasons:
RabidChihuahua, TsunayoshiSawada5927, TokenDP, Garyuu, Zero_Destiny,
TheJohn, BaronSamedi3
What did you think of this review?
You're welcome man. I'm sure some folks are going to give me shit about this, and take it as if I'm telling them how to review. Whatever the case, I believe this will help many a great deal and as I gain more experience I find more things to add. I think I'm overdue some game reviews already.

text: Alright as the title says this will be an admantium log. I was chosen to get this for free, however I will say it was next up for me to try out so I would have bought it once anyways. Things I have tried in the past: no xplode, blast, super pump, premax, lit up, tcf-1 dosed preworkout, multiple home brew bulk mixes, shock therapy, and many others. I will be dosing the admantium Daily, 30 minutes preworkout and also 60 minutes before bed on non workout days, which is what the label says to do. So lets get to it. I am drinking the admantium mixed into 8 oz of cold water, pink lemonade is the flavor. It tastes pretty good actually. Mixes well and settled a little bit, gave it another shake and then it was fine. The taste was comparable to a tart pink lemonade, definitely a better flavor than the lit up. Lit up wasn't bad but I like the admantium better. I will wait about 10 minutes then head to the gym, which is about a 5 minute drive, do a 10 minute warmup then I will hit legs and heavy back. I will report back after the workout.

XLR8R's Best of 2013: Podcasts
Of all the content that gets posted on XLR8R each week, there's little question that our podcast series is the thing that usually gets people the most excited. Even as a litany of mix series have sprung up around the web in recent years, readers continue to flock to XLR8R on Tuesday mornings to gobble up the latest mix on offer. In 2013, we published nearly 50 podcasts, all of which were exclusive DJ mixes crafted specifically for the series. The styles explored and the artists highlighted may have varied wildly from week to week, but we'd like to think that each podcast showcased an artist putting their absolute best foot forward. (After all, we only allow people to do one XLR8R podcast; there are no repeat appearances.) Given that, it was difficult to select our favorite mixes from the past year, but our Best of 2013 series wouldn't have been complete without taking a look at the XLR8R podcast series. Our editors' top picks are below, but in the interest of providing a more thorough picture, we've also taken a look at our web traffic and assembled a list of the year's 10 most popular podcasts.

Free Mud Baths In May at Calistoga Resort
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Spas
The late Dr. John Wilkinson established Dr. Wilkinson's Hot Springs Resort in 1952. A practicing chiropractor for most of his career, and proponent of alternative health care, he arrived in Calistoga in 1946. He became fascinated with the restorative properties of the mud made from combining the region's hot mineral water and volcanic ash. His children Mark and Carolynn are the co-owners and have run the resort for more than 20 years, preserving the mud baths created and perfected by their father, protecting his "secret formula." The mud bath formula consists of a combination of local volcanic ash, imported peat, and naturally boiling hot springs mineral water from the resort's private source. The resort's original neon sign, erected in 1952, still glows outside Dr. Wilkinson's Hot Springs Resort. Rates for a room start around $150.

By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/histoplasmosis/DS00517
Histoplasmosis is an infection caused by breathing in spores of a fungus often found in bird and bat droppings. Histoplasmosis is most commonly transmitted when these spores become airborne, often during cleanup or demolition projects.
Soil contaminated by bird or bat droppings also can transmit histoplasmosis, so farmers and landscapers are at a higher risk of the disease. In the United States, histoplasmosis most commonly occurs in the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys.
Most people with histoplasmosis never develop symptoms and aren't aware they're infected. But for some people — primarily infants and those with compromised immune systems — histoplasmosis can be serious. Effective treatments are available for even the most severe forms of histoplasmosis.
Several types of histoplasmosis exist. The mildest form produces no signs or symptoms, but severe infections can be life-threatening. When signs and symptoms do occur, they usually appear three to 17 days after exposure and may include:
- Fever
- Chills
- Headache
- Muscle aches
- Dry cough
- Chest discomfort
In some people, histoplasmosis can also produce joint pain and a rash. People who have an underlying lung disease, such as emphysema, may develop a chronic form of histoplasmosis that can additionally feature weight loss and a cough that brings up blood. Symptoms of chronic histoplasmosis sometimes can mimic those of tuberculosis.
Severe histoplasmosis
The most severe variety of histoplasmosis occurs primarily in infants and in people with compromised immune systems. Called disseminated histoplasmosis, this variety can affect nearly any part of your body, including your eyes, liver, central nervous system, skin and adrenal glands. If untreated, disseminated histoplasmosis is usually fatal.
When to see a doctor
Contact your doctor if you develop flu-like symptoms after being exposed to bird or bat droppings — especially if you have a weakened immune system.
Histoplasmosis is caused by the reproductive cells (spores) of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. The spores are extremely light and float into the air when dirt or other contaminated material is disturbed. Even if you've had histoplasmosis in the past, you can still get the infection again. However, if you contract histoplasmosis again, the illness will likely be milder than the initial infection.
The histoplasmosis fungus thrives in damp soil that's rich in organic material, especially the droppings from birds and bats. For that reason, it's particularly common in chicken and pigeon coops, old barns, caves and parks. Histoplasmosis isn't contagious, so it can't be spread from person to person.
Risk factors
The chances of developing histoplasmosis symptoms increase with the number of spores you inhale. Professions with a higher likelihood of spore exposure include:
- Farmers
- Pest control workers
- Poultry keepers
- Construction workers
- Roofers
- Landscapers and gardeners
Most at risk of severe infection
Very young children and older adults have weaker immune systems, so they're more likely to develop disseminated histoplasmosis — the most serious form of the disease. Other factors that can weaken your immune system include:
- HIV or AIDS
- Cancer chemotherapy
- Corticosteroid drugs, such as prednisone
- TNF inhibitors, often used to control rheumatoid arthritis
- Medications that prevent rejection of organ transplants
Histoplasmosis can cause a number of serious complications, even in otherwise healthy people. For infants, older adults and people with compromised immune systems, the potential problems are often life-threatening. Complications can include:
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Histoplasmosis can damage lungs to the point that the air sacs begin filling with fluid. This prevents efficient air exchange and can deplete oxygen levels in the blood.
- Heart problems. Inflammation of the pericardium, the sac that surrounds your heart, is called pericarditis. When the fluid in this sac increases, it can interfere with the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently.
- Adrenal insufficiency. Histoplasmosis can harm your adrenal glands, which produce hormones that give instructions to virtually every organ and tissue in your body.
- Meningitis. In some cases, histoplasmosis can cause meningitis, an infection and inflammation of the membranes surrounding your brain and spinal cord.
Preparing for your appointment
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor. He or she might refer you to a doctor who specializes in infectious diseases. Depending on your symptoms and the severity of your infection, you may also see other doctors, such as a lung specialist (pulmonologist) or a heart specialist (cardiologist).
What you can do
- Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for which you scheduled the appointment.
- Write down key personal information, including any possible exposure to areas with numerous birds or bats.
- Make a list of all medications, vitamins and supplements that you're taking.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For histoplasmosis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- What's the most likely cause of my symptoms?
- How could I have gotten this infection?
- What kinds of tests do I need? Do these tests require any special preparation?
- Will this infection get better on its own, or do I need treatment?
- What treatments are available, and which do you recommend?
- What types of side effects can I expect from treatment?
- Are there any alternatives to the primary approach that you're suggesting?
- I have other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
- Is there a generic alternative to the medicine you're prescribing me?
- Can I get infected again?
- Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take home with me? What websites do you recommend visiting?
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
- When did you first begin experiencing symptoms?
- Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?
- How severe are your symptoms?
- Do you work outdoors?
- Have you spent an extended time in areas with large populations of birds?
- Have you spent any time in caves? Or other areas where bats might congregate?
Tests and diagnosis
Diagnosing histoplasmosis can be complicated, depending on the area of the body being affected. While testing is not usually necessary for mild cases of histoplasmosis, it can be crucial to help choose appropriate treatments in life-threatening cases.
Each type of lab test for histoplasmosis has its limitations. Your doctor may suggest a combination approach to search for evidence of the disease in samples of:
- Lung secretions
- Blood or urine
- Biopsied lung tissue
- Bone marrow
Treatments and drugs
Treatment usually isn't necessary if you have a mild case of histoplasmosis. But if your symptoms are severe or if you have the chronic or disseminated forms of the disease, you'll likely need treatment with one or more antifungal drugs. Some of these medications come in pill form, but the strongest varieties are administered intravenously.
It's difficult to prevent exposure to the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, especially in areas where the disease is widespread. Even so, these steps can help reduce the risk of infection:
- Avoid exposure. If your immune system is compromised, avoid renovation projects that might expose you to contaminated soil. Likewise, cave exploring and raising birds — such as pigeons or chickens — aren't advised.
- Spray contaminated soil. Before you work in or dig soil that's likely to harbor the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, spray it thoroughly with water. This can help prevent spores from being released into the air. Spraying chicken coops and barns before cleaning them also can reduce your risk.
- Use an effective face mask. One of the best ways to protect yourself from soil-borne organisms if you must work in contaminated areas or in caves known to harbor bats is to wear a respirator mask. Consult with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to determine which type of mask will provide adequate protection for your level of exposure.

Winter Hair Products
Moisturizing is an essential part of winter hair care. Ingredients such as humectants — which function really well in humid situations — can actually parch your hair during the dry winter months. Here are some winter hair tips and products for keeping your hair moisturized and conditioned throughout the long, cold months.
1. Use Oils & Butters
Winter hair thrives on moisture, and you can never have too much. Winter can be a great time for curlies, since frizz-causing humidity plummets along with the temperatures. However, along with indoor heating, cold weather can also wreak havoc on your curls and kinks in other ways, leaving them parched and brittle. Use products that are rich in oils and butters and try to avoid humectants, especially when humidity and dew points are low.
2. Deep Condition
To battle the dryness, stick to a strict deep-conditioning regimen. Deep condition once a week at the very least (twice if you tend to be very dry) with a conditioner that provides moisture only.
Avoid drying shampoos that contain too much protein and not enough natural oils during the winter. When you use products that contain protein, your hair needs extra moisture so it won't become dry and brittle. Since you'll be deep conditioning more, be sure to pick a deep conditioner that is not protein rich, since too much protein can cause more frizz.
3. Natural Oils Are a Must
Always seal your hair with an easily absorbed oil before heading out of the house in the cold winter months. Natural oils such as jojoba, rosemary and lavender keep the scalp in good condition as well as the hair.
4. Avoid the Towel
Never use a regular terrycloth towel after shower. The coarse texture of a typical bath towel can roughen up the hair's cuticle causing curl separation and frizz. Curlies need to use smooth-surfaced, absorbent towels designed to reduce frizz and drying time while creating beautifully defined curls. Curly hair absorbs product better when it's soaking wet, with just the kiss of a microfiber towel.

Summary (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Hopkins's ideas of inscape and instress seem to imply that every object in creation has something like a soul, that is, a power that points toward its divine creator. He begins "God's Grandeur," composed in 1877, with the assertion that the world as a whole has this inscape: "The world is charged with the grandeur of God." Though several senses of the word "charge" may be relevant in this statement, the primary sense seems to be of electric force. God is like an electric charge present in the world. This image is continued in the statement that this divine force "will flame out." While conveying the idea of a lightning strike implicit in the image of an electrical charge, this new image also suggests the Pentecostal tongue of flame, which introduces one of the aspects of God's presence in the world as the Holy Spirit, the idea with which the poet ends. Hopkins extends this idea into that of blinding light, another familiar biblical image associated with God, when he says that the flaming out of the grandeur of God is "like the shining of shook foil." In a letter, Hopkins said that he was thinking of gold foil, which "gives off broad glares like sheet lightning and . . . owing to its zigzag dints and creasings and network of small many cornered facets, a sort of fork lightning too." Other senses of foil may also enrich this image—for example, the idea of a sword, with its suggestions of challenge and judgment. The next image compares...

10 @ 10: Dining and late-summer laziness
Posted by Tribune staff
Those brisk, energizing days of fall have yet to really kick in. And Tom Skilling is telling us to expect a high of 87 degrees on Tuesday. So we're calling this week's round of 10 @ 10 "late-summer laziness" and asking Tribune foodies what easy-peasy foods they might enjoy on a late-summer day. Like Tuesday.
In my household we've been harvesting the last of our crop of summer veggies and herbs (tomatoes, basil) and throwing it all on a pre-made margherita pizza from Trader Joe's. It's a quick and easy dinner great for those (hot) nights when you don't want to cook; and is guilt-free considering the key ingredients are home grown. -- Lauren Viera
A speedy "stir-fry" is a good solution for a quick dinner and it doesn't have to be Asian. I like to slice up andouille or chicken sausages (there is always a package in the freezer) and stir fry them in a wok with sliced red and yellow peppers from the farmers market. A salad on the side is all you need for a 20-minute meal. —Carol Mighton Haddix
People go to farmers markets for meats and vegetables but hardly ever think of it as a place to pick up bakery items, including fresh fruit cobblers. Farmers market baked goods are delicious and they look homemade, so you could probably fool the FBI when you say you made them. And satisfying my sweet tooth couldn't be easier. — Courtney Crowder
Spaghetti with raw tomato sauce (sugo crudo). So easy, so light. Chop fresh tomatoes (must be the ripest farmers market tomatoes you can get this late in the season); throw into a bowl with coarsely chopped garlic, basil, olive oil, salt. Let sit on the counter an hour or so. After you've cooked and drained the spaghetti (or linguine or penne, etc.), toss the noodles in the bowl with your sauce. — Joe Gray
It might not seem lazy but you can either make fresh pesto — super easy with a food processor and a bundle of fresh basil, olive oil, parmesan, any rich nut and garlic — or use the pesto you have frozen in your ice cube tray and toss them over a hot pot of freshly boiled noodles. You'll produce the wonderfully basilly aroma of summer. – Monica Eng
I'd like to fire up the grill for a pub burger, purchased (of course) from Prime and Tender meat market in Hinsdale. I'm still seeing corn on the cob at the farmers markets, so maybe some corn and a tall glass of freshly squeezed lemonade — which I'll make over the weekend so that I can be lazy on Tuesday. — Denise Joyce
Marinated shrimp: Take the quick-to-marinate shrimp and dip one side in a little sugar before you place them on a skewer and toss on the grill. The sugar gives the shrimp a nice caramelized coating. Add in couscous/rice/pasta, and you have a meal.— Linda Bergstrom
Throw corn in husk onto grill, turn whenever the husk gets dark, remove after maybe 15 minutes. Throw on brats/chicken sausage/encased meat of choice. Throw on sliced zucchini or summer squash or eggplant, lightly seasoned. Throw on buns, briefly. Garnish appropriately. Eat. — Mark Caro
Scramble eggs (farmers market, natch) with a wee bit of milk, heat slowly in pan, add cheese and every leftover veggie in your fridge, toast a muffin and enjoy. — Mark Caro
Spring greens from a bag, from the farmers market, what have you — plus a pile of crumbled blue cheese, sliced tomatoes of whatever sort you can get your hands on, salt, pepper and balsamic to taste. Toss that up in a giant bowl and go to town. The mix of balsamic and an overabundance of blue cheese crumbles add a slight creamy effect, and you don't have to heat up anything. Bonus all around. — Cheryl Bowles

One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for insight into the future. The other involves a groundhog....
Makes sense?

Hold the Caesar salad, because Beyonce wants chocolate -- and lots of it!
The pop star returned to the stage over the weekend in Atlantic City to perform her first set of shows since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, and she revealed to the audience how she got back in shape.
According to Us Weekly, the singer told the crowd at Revel Beach's Ovation Hall Saturday night that she "had to lose 60 pounds" after delivering her first child in January.
"They had me on that treadmill. I ate lettuce!" said the 30-year-old beauty. "Now tonight I'm gonna get chocolate wasted!"
We wonder if First Lady Michelle Obama agreed with Bey's playful call to indulge: The health-and-fitness advocate was in the audience Saturday with daughters Sasha and Malia in tow.
According to a source for the publication, "They sat up in a private balcony with [Oprah's BFF] Gayle King. Michelle was jamming out to 'Crazy in Love.' When Beyonce told the crowd to get up and jump, [Malia and Sasha] stood and started dancing and jumping. They were shouting when Beyonce asked, 'Do girls run the world?' Together, all three of them did the 'Single Ladies' dance moves."
Bey is expected to perform in Atlantic City Monday as well.
