This kind of chatter makes us happy. I plan to serve those vegetables at my holiday dinner tomorrow night. Seems like they'd work for Thanksgiving, too, as a vegetarian main course.

It's probably because I missed my morning dose of Earl Grey, but could you come back at us: Do you mean you're looking for a second protein or other dish to serve for your guests who would not, could not, eat those beautiful chops?
For every cup of milk (any fat percentage works), stir in 1 tablespoon plain distilled white vinegar.
I came back from Greece with a great amount of homemade olive oil. It's extra virgin with an exquisite fruity taste. I would like to infuse a small portion of this olive oil and I'm thinking hot peppers, herbs or garlic. Do the ingredients need to be dry? Do I need to slowly cook a good amount of oil with the ingredient that I end up choosing? Thanks for helping!
Here's a good primer from the Kitchn on infusing olive oils. The key when infusing is to keep your herbs, peppers, garlic or whatever dry as a desert steer skull (why are steers wandering the desert anyway?). Water is where the trouble starts -- and where bacteria can grow.
Also, remember that infused oils have a shorter shelf life than regular olive oils. Your infused oil should last about a month in the fridge.
Couple of years ago, Lorna Sass did a series of quick, weeknight recipes that use different whole grains. If you search our recipe finder using this link, you'll see a wild rice and turkey salad; Mediterranean quinoa with broccoli, a bulgur pilaf with ground lamb and beets (love that one; it's pictured below), millet timbales with black bean salsa; and a dish i've made several times, Quick Brown Rice With Tuna and Green Beans. Just about all of those recipes involve fresh farmers market ingredients. I notice she's also done a barley risotto with mushrooms.
BTW, have you tried this breakfast way to have your quinoa?
Good morning, Rangers! Have you seen this video, which is currently making the internet rounds, promoting a fascinating and revelatory way to peel a head of garlic in 10 seconds? I really want to try this at home (they didn't warn me not to!), but rarely to never do I ever need an entire head of garlic at once. Is there a way to store the rest of the peeled cloves until I'm ready to use them?
Interesting -- I can see why/how that trick would work, although I wonder if all those cloves are really perfectly peeled or not. (For those of you who don't want to watch the video, it's from Saveur, and here's what you do: After you break apart the head of garlic, you put all the cloves in a big stainless steel bowl, cover it with another flipped-over bowl, hold the two together, and shake real hard so the cloves go bouncing around.) But it looks worth trying, absolutely. Here's the thing on your question: It's best to only peel what you need, because the garlic immediately starts to get stale and down the road to spoilage as soon as you peel it. Yes, you could cover the cloves in olive oil. But why not just reduce his technique down to size? That is, do the same thing, but only with the number of cloves you need -- and with smaller bowls? That's what I'll try when I get home tonight.
In fact, yes, you could treat the recipe like a Coca Cola Cake, but be sure to watch the level of liquid if you are including both rum and ginger beer in the lineup of ingredients. Too much liquid in a cupcake batter will thin it out, and the resulting cupcakes' texture will be compromised.
Watched it for the first time on Tuesday, and, wow, what a mess! I can't see how it can survive in this particular & painfully formulaic format. It was like a parody of a food show. What can they do to fix it? My first fix, get rid of Daphne Oz. She doesn't add anything to the show that I can see.
You're not alone in your distaste for "The Chew."
The critics coughed up their first taste on Monday, and we here at the Food section choked down our share of the program yesterday.
It's funny but when I visited the set, I found that the co-hosts were funny and personalable and perfectly suited for each other. On TV, they don't seem to mesh, and the whole projects seems too much by half. There's something about the camera that distorts reality.
It was pretty disjointed to watch, wasn't it? I absolutely love Carla, so this should be taken with that in mind, but there was a frenetic something that felt too forced about yesterday's show. Among other problems. I agree that I wasn't sure why Daphne Oz was there -- well, other than to bring some healthy something to the show. But I think others could do that.
We've alerted the linkers and it should be fixed. This is Free Range on Food, where we talk about ... well, guess!
You've sent some of us skipping down memory lane with that one. Generally, if a recipe doesn't specify, it doesn't matter. If you like the more molasses-y taste of dark brown sugar, use it. (If I remember correctly, I cut the amount back in my chicken Marbella to 3/4 cup; it's enough, and I have a sweet tooth.) To sub with honey or agave syrup, use 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons, or 14 tablespoons.
You sure can. It's less risky to use it raw than to cook it, like in the cream sauce, but if you use the whole or low-fat (but not the non-fat) in that sauce, you should be fine. (The fat-free tends to separate when it cooks.) I love Greek yogurt -- or just yogurt that's strained into "cheese" like Andreas Viestad wrote about recently.
By the way, speaking of dips, here's a good one we ran recently for Parmesan Yogurt Dip with Carrots.
Drippy and crunchy--can you explain this further? The "crunchy" part can be accomplished by sprinkling a streusel mixture on top, but "drippy"--for that, I'll need a little more information about that quality to give you some guidelines.
Easier to come by than you might think. Dean and Deluca carries it (in Georgetown); so does the Italian Store in Arlington and La Cuisine in Alexandria. (La Cuisine has different kinds of 00, for pastry, pizza, all-purpose. Love that store.) Chatters, other places?
There are several really good seafood places (obviously), including Vid Tjörnina and Sjavarkjallarinn (or "Seafood Cellar"). And a surprisingly good Indian place called Austur India Fjelagid. But my absolute favorite restaurant in Iceland is about an hour's drive south from Reykjavik, in a town called Stokkseyri, overlooking the ocean -- it's called Fjörubordid. They serve these amazing, tiny lobsters by the pail. In fact, I would say my dinner there was a Top Five of all time.
Superfine sugar and confectioners' sugar are two entirely different sweetening agents. Supefine sugar is a very fine granulation of sugar. Confectioners' sugar, also known as powdered sugar, contains a small percentage of cornstarch. They are not interchangeable in a baking recipe.
Definitely the best way to break apart. Just pound it like he does. Interesting to hear that your peels didn't come off. The garlic he was starting with did look like the papery skin was looser than on some.
Great question! Right now, even money.
In the meantime, a new 'cue restaurant opened in Adams Morgan this week. It's called Smoke & Barrel.
Might be worth checking out till the others open.
I'll paraphrase Chris Kimball of Cook's Illustrated when I say, the thing is about "recipes that I can surely find on any number of baking blogs/websites," you don't need hundreds of recipes for any given thing. You just need one -- the one that works, that you like. That's the beauty of a good cookbook, when you're in sync with it: It's full of recipes that you love, that you love to make, that turn out well.
And to repeat the essence of what Bonnie wrote in her review: Not to overstate this, but what you're getting when you get a collection of Lisa Yockelson recipes is a collection of recipes that work perfectly. If you follow her points, there's really no question. She's tested everything to the umpteenth degree, and every single ingredient is there for a very good reason, and in the exact right amount. So you can depend on it. To me, that's worth the price tage, and more. You can scour the Internet and come across any old random recipe, but unless you're familiar with the source, good luck to you!
That's my take.
I love cabbage in cold weather, too, particularly a braised red cabbage, like this smoky bacon-red cabbage recipe from chef Ris Lacoste of Ris in the West End.
If that doesn't suit your tastes, we have tons of other cabbage recipes in the database.
Chef Jeff Tunks 's recipe for blue cheese slaw sounds pretty amazing too, though you would need to find a good piece of fish to pair it with. (See the picture above.)
Tom took a week off to finish up his fall dining guide. He'll be back next week.
Can you find a draft-free spot in another place of your home? A hallway? To keep the temperature constant, I like to tightly cover the bowl of dough with a sheet of food-safe plastic wrap. It creates just the right environment during the cooler/colder months. As well, you might consider placing a linen towel loosely over the plastic wrap cover--to double-up on the cozy environment.
Did you get them from Whole Foods, by chance? The reason I ask is this: I did the same thing. Got bag, labeled as local (Pennsylvania or Virginia, can't remember) from Whole Foods P Street, and noticed that the bag said that the apples -- of course -- should be refrigerated. I thought to myself, "I know that's true from personal experience. Why, then, do grocery stores not store them that way?" Farmers store apples in cold storage after picking, and then take them to market, where they sit out only a few hours before being sold. So I think the reason those apples are mealy has something to do with the fact that they weren't stored properly. Maybe Whole Foods stores them in the fridge in the back before bringing them out, but then they sit out for days on end, don't they?
Anyway, on to your question: You should look at the Tony Rosenfeld package of apple stories we had a couple of weeks ago, particularly at this chart. Seems to me that a Jonagold or Macoun might suit your cobbler nicely.
Baked Apple, Smoked Turkey and Cheddar Strata is slap-your-knee good, fairly easy to put together and budget-friendly. You can assemble it in advance. Wish I had a pix to show you...or a plate of it. Right now.
Or you could make eggs and this Spicy Sweet Potato and Apple Hash, a recent recipe from Tony Rosenfeld. That one I can show you.
In random markets, I have seen buttermilk for sale in pint containers. Yours seems to have been a valid experiment.
I'm looking for a tested recipe of orange liquor and coffee liquor. Any suggestion?
Both orange liqueur and coffee liqueur...that's a tall order. A few years ago, we ran a recipe for something called a Rhino, made with coffee liqueur, Cointreau, and Amarula, which is an African cream liqueur made from marula fruit. It was a shot, but if you play around with the proportions, it would work as something to sip after dinner. Other than that, nothing else is jumping to mind.
I'm stumped on this one! Another chatter had said he/she uses the plastic liners, and had the same problem, but you don't use them! Remind me of what's in your veggie noodle soup: some of the same ingredients in the tomato soup? I can see why people would recommend sauteeing the onions first (along with garlic, etc., if you're using aromatic veggies to start), at least for good development of a flavor base, but I'm not sure chemistry-wise how/why raw onions would make for a plasticky taste. But you know what? Try the same recipes but sauteeing the onions first, and report back. You need to experiment a little more, seems like.
Lisa to the rescue! Many sweet rolls and coffee cakes of the yeast variety can be formed, panned, and refrigerated overnight, so as you are preheating the oven in the morning (at a decent hour), the baking pan can be removed from the overnight rest to reach room temperature and the breakfast treat can be baked. Too, many baked goods do not suffer from being made in advance and reheated gently before serving--so this provides the coveted early morning scent.
Wow! So soon!
How bout Roasted Rack of Lamb With Rosemary-Mustard Glaze? It has a great pedigree: from White House chef Christeta Comerford.
Using spelt flour alone, which is what I think you may be doing, will indeed create crumbly bread. You might try using a portion of unbleached all-purpose flour in the recipe--to give the "crumb" greater strength.
Whereas sugar encourages yeast growth, salt (a judicious amount of it) retards growth. In addition to acting as a flavor balance, salt appears in yeast-based bread recipes to control the fermentaion process.
We have all kinds of tasty bean recipes in our Recipe Finder; some of them include bacon for flavoring, which I'll assume is okay. A few choice ones:
1. Antipasto White Bean Salad.
2. Bean Stew with Herb Pesto. (Pictured above)
3. Chef Clime's Chilled Butter Bean Soup.
And not to knock your black bean soup recipe in a crockpot, but you should definitely give Domenica Marchetti's version a try.
I wanted to share this recipe from Vegetarian Times for an Apple-Chard Quiche that is perfect for this time of year. FYI, I have made it with both with oat milk (Pacific brand, available all over) and rice milk, vegan cheese, and egg sub and it was fabulous each way.
Technically, all of it. What you'll run into as you hack your way into the dark-green parts is tougher, more fibrous material. But even then, chopped into small bits and cooked till tender, it can work. I usually cut off 3 inches of the dark green parts (and the tip of the root) then use the rest. It's a good idea to split the leek down the middle and either let it sit in cold water so dirt can dislodge and filter down (10 mins or so) or flush with running water till you can't see or feel any grit.
Now, as for uses: You can add those dark-green parts or a few leeks to any stock or court bouillon you're making. Or just saute them in butter and olive oil till almost tender, then transfer to a gratin dish and pour cream over them. Sprinkle with Parm, if you like, and bake till bubbly and lightly browned on top. Chop/saute leeks and add to a risotto. Chop and mix with other vegetables for roasting; cut the white and light-green parts into slivers and use as the base for packet cooking of chicken or fish. Cookbook whiz Aliza Green recommends deep-frying leek matchsticks till they're crunchy -- I must try that.
Sounds like a great gift! Yes to quesiton number two: With any vintage port, you really do need to consume it in a day or so, just like any wine. As for whether to decant, it depends. Since it's a Colheita, essentially vintage tawny, it did most of its aging in barrel. Even though the vintage is 1961, it could have been bottled more recently. So check out the date it was bottled on the label. You'll likely have less sediment than with a straight-up vintage port, but you still might have some. So if seems like it's been in a bottle for a long time, you should decant. Pour it steadily and carefully into the decanter, leaving any sediment in the bottle.
Simply reduce the cookies into fine crumbs in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel knife, then follow a recipe for a crumb crust. Or, you can use the cookie crumbs in a topping for a fruit crisp, substituting about one-third of the crumbs for the flour (in that case, be sure to adjust the amount of sugar in the topping if the cookie crumbs are very sweet).
Thanks so much. Glad you have noticed. This gives me a chance to give a shout-out to the food stylist we use most regularly: Bonnie! She does an amazing job schlepping all sorts of dishes into the studio every week and helping the photogs make them look delectable. This is not an easy thing, as I can attest to whenever I'd had to try to do it without her. Our regular studio photographer, Deb Lindsey, is just a joy to work with, and other Post staff photographers have shown they can do some nice stuff with food. Now if we could just get the press reproduction to look anywhere near as good as the images look on the screen...
It was stretched out so much by those commercials, too, wasn't it? We'll see what happens -- I'm sure they're focus-grouping it...
Personally, I think they're trying to do too much with too little time. That sausage monstrosity that Mario Batali made yesterday in the Grab Bag Challenge? What was the point of that? I suspect people, particularly unemployed people and stressed out parents during the daytime, don't want to watch barely controlled mania on TV.
Word. Just peel what you need as you need -- garlic stores beautifully on its own, with the peel left intact.
My recommendation is (and always has been) to roll out the dough (between lengths of waxed paper or food-safe parchment paper) BEFORE it is refrigerated in a disc or ball, then chill the rolled-out sheet for a certain length of time to "relax" it. This helps guard against frayed edges, and you're not fighting a cold, hard lump of dough. Also, you can always roll under the scraggly edges to create smoother edges.
As someone who fights refrigerated dough in this same way, I love this tip.
This is a technique I would not be thrilled about--a long, slow rise (even a slightly chilly one) does add great flavor to a yeast-raised bread dough (sweet or savory).
Haha, good to hear! Be careful!
How about Pasta With Creamy Pumpkin Sauce? Tastes like fall. Or Carrot Apple Soup?
I think Editor Joe and I are both pretty keen on this Ginger Shrimp With Carrot Couscous. Like this one too: Pan-Seared Shrimp With Chipotle-Lime Glaze.
You can substitute pistachio paste--it's lovely!--in most any recipe that uses almond paste as the main (or highlighting) ingredient.
Here's a Snickerdoodle recipe that uses butter and light corn syrup.
And here's one that uses all butter, no shortening or corn syrup.
In a phrase--the cookies will be delicious. However, using all butter (rather than a mix of butter and shortening) will create somewhat flatter (less puffy) cookies, but the treats will be tasty nonetheless.
Have you ever used them to make ravioli, as in this spinach and ricotta ravoli recipe? Endless filling possibilities, and easy to work with. Use a little water to seal/pinch the edges. You can fry them up as chips, too -- sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a dessert option.
First off, thanks for the lunchbox idea: I love the look of Planet Box and now want to buy one. Very cool!
Second, I don't like this idea of freezing sandwiches. Excuse the following ignorant question from somebody without kids, but isn't there a fridge at school your son can drop his lunch box into when he gets there?
As we head into apple season, the nitrogen storage becomes less important, methinks. Those fruits will be fresh (or mostly) fresh from the tree this fall. Nitrogen storage helps keep apples available at farmers market year-round.
Try Veselka's cabbage soup - published in NY Mag, also on Smitten Kitchen. It is divine and even my preschoolers ate it well.
Baking Style contains some of my favorite yeast-raised breads--including a favorite babka recipe that took me years to refine. There are cookies galore, in all flavors and textures. As for bran muffins, you'll need to search a back issue of COOK'S ILLUSTRATED: I published my favorite bran muffin recipe in that publication many years ago.
I'd be tempted to try it with tofu, yes. Freeze a block of silken tofu for at least 48 hours, then let it thaw in the refrigerator for a day. Then squeeze it between paper towels to get the extra water out, and crumble it up. I'd add some extra olive oil when you're initially frying up that tofu.
I knew it! That's where I got mine, too. You should complain to them... I did -- well, I did on Twitter, cause that's how I roll. ;-)
Oh my! You could bake off globs of cookie dough, about 6 at a time (depending on the size of your toaster oven), in many, many batches. (I'm tired just thinking about it.) Until that cranky oven of your gets fixed, why don't you take some cookie or bread dough to a friend's kitchen?
Well, you've brought up my pet peeve. In my experience, granulated sugar, processed, never approaches the nearly powdery consistency of store-bought superfine sugar.
Well, I am woefully underqualified to answer this question. I tried to turn to Pati Jinich, the host of "Pati's Mexican Table" for help, but alas, I can't reach her right now.
I do know this: Pan de Muertos is a staple of Day of the Dead celebrations, practically as important as laying flowers and trinkets on the headstones of loved ones long lost.
Here's a recipe for the bread from Chow.com.
I completely agree on the use of rib chops. Try the Big Chop sometime. Amazing!
I have used it as an ingredient in handmade pasta dough.
It's also considered the best flour for Neopolitan-style pizza.
A lemon curd filling, used in a crumb crust, could be problematic due to the moisture present in the filling.
Glad to be of service. Hope you enjoy the chops.
1 pound of dried beans = about 6 cups cooked beans.
A 15-ounce can of cooked beans = about 1 1/2 cups (drained).
You could use vegan butter substitute and make these apples, stuffed with a pecan crumble mixture. For my money, I'd add some pears (and keep that vegan butter substitute) and make Roasted Mashed Apple-Pear Sauce. Even though the recipe calls for McIntosh, I've used several kinds of apples and pears in this and have never been disappointed. You/they can freeze leftovers. It's a winner that I crave at this time each year. Made it last weekend!
I've recently become obsessed with baking. I have a fairly tiny kitchen and cupboard and counter space are at a premium. For flour/sugar storage, what containers do you recommend? Are there other ingredients that should be kept in a storage container? For example, is my baking soda good to go in the box, or should it be sealed as well? When I finally am able to remodel the kitchen (come on 2012!!!), what is your take on these flour/sugar drawers, as seen in Pioneer Woman's kitchen?
Airtight containers are best for storing flour and sugar. I always decant baking soda into a storage container and seal it with a tight-fitting lid. Leavenings, by the way, should be stored on a cool pantry shelf.
Ha! Calling for a crusty bread will help you to choose a bread with a somewhat firm interior -- not looking for Wonderbread or soft Italian here.
Gorilla Epoxy claims to be 100 percent food safe once it's cured. It claims to withstand temperatures up to 200 F, which means you may run into trouble if you try to boil that kettle.
Check with your local hardware store about the glue.

October marks National Crime Prevention Month and now, more than ever, it is important to remind our neighbors and loved ones that not every crime can be prevented by locking your doors. We all must take steps to ensure that our families are protected from fraud, theft, and schemes targeting our pocketbooks.
One easy and convenient way to do that is for those who receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks in the mail to switch to electronic payments. By changing to electronic payments, the money is automatically entered into your account and there exists no paper check that can get lost or stolen through the mail.
Criminals use any number of phone, Internet and old-fashioned scams to try to get your money. Electronic payments reduce the amount of personal and financial information out there and add a significant level of protection against these sophisticated crooks.
It's easy to sign up for electronic payments. If you have a bank account, sign up for direct deposit by visiting your bank or credit union. You can also call the Go Direct helpline at 1-800-333-1795, or visiting www.GoDirect.org.
If you don't have a bank account, you can sign up for the new Treasury-recommended prepaid debit card, the Direct Express card. Sign up by calling 1-877-212-9991 or visiting www.USDirectExpress.com.
Have a safe October and share these valuable tips with your loved ones and neighbors. And remember, if the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.

« Coaching sweep clears space for gifted Sandberg | Main | Phillies outfield reservist elects free agency »
Feels like a loss. Oops, sorry. It's a habit.
Post season = over
Feels like a void.
I hate the damn Tomahawk chop (I also hate the Rangers' heifer horns, reminds me of a fraternity thing), but the Cardinals just won the WS last year. So, go Braves!
Kyle Lohse always looks angry when he gets done pitching.
Fatalotti: Lohse's career Postseason numbers are liable to make past & current teammates look angry.
Wow, what a catch by J-Hey!
Cards and Braves so one must lose. Upside.
I'll bet the Braves wish they had a surefire star like Dom out there ...
Or not.
What a freaking catch. The sun was in his eyes!
This was funny. Closed yesterday after Bobby V got canned.
I can't tell anyone who to root for after the Phils, but I don't understand some of the secondary allegiances here. BAP and GTown hate the O's? Why? What did they do to anyone? And I guess I understand being tired of the Rangers but why are they hateable? Because of Hamilton? They have several players that are very easy to root for. I don't get that one.
And I guess it's past time that BAP comes out of the closet on the Giants, which is questionable enough because of their thuggery last year against the Phils. But BAP has claimed to loathe the Giants before. What happened BAP? Is your boy Pence swaying you? I can't think of a single reason outside of him to root for them. Several vile players on that team.
I know Larry is from Georgia but it seems a shame to have that great of a career in front of such piss poor fans.
Stuck at work, so no video.
Did Atlanta actually fill more than 1/2 their stadium, or do they just have the crowd mic feed turned way up?
MG, in that link appears the following:
"The ultimate Boston Red Sox experience for the 2013-2014 season! "
What the hell is the 2013-2014 season?
Not to take anything away from these pitchers, but it's pretty clear to me that these hitters can't see the ball very well due to the shadows. Every hitter looks way late on their swing.
I think it's about time BAP gets a restraining order against Iceman.
..and that one of the Braves or Cards will lose in one game, for me, validates the new 2nd wild card. I am against any wild cards and would prefer straight up pennant winners. But if you are going to have wild cards, I like it this way where if you make it as a wild card, you could get whacked as suddenly as a mob hit. Winning the division is more important this year than it has been in any of the preceding wild card year, and I like that.
And, while the 2nd wild card may make it easier for the Phillies to make the postseason with the Nats looking like possible champs for a few years, it will mean it's harder for them to go to the World Series.
Better get good again.
I need one, too. And when the hell did I express hatred for the Orioles?
That's on the home plate umpire for issuing that late timeout. I HATE when umpires do that.
"The ultimate Boston Red Sox experience for the 2013-2014 season!"
What the hell is the 2013-2014 season?
Probably another wonderful Bud Selig invention.
Simmons had in his column that the Red Sox paid $2.5 million to Bobby V take a non-disparagement clause. That's crazy.
Boston is going to have money to spend this offseason but they are almost getting to the point where it is going to be tough to attract premier FAs there again even with the cash.
It took the huge Manny signing (which was regarded as a massive mistake and overpay at the time) to change that.
GTown- my bad. I misread your post in the last thread. I retract my statement.
donc- I bet he could draw one up and present it himself. He likes the harassment though, don't let him fool you.
Now, to be fair, it was incredibly dumb of Molina/Lohse to throw another changeup, and leave it up in the zone.
I just saw the video of Heyward's catch. Terrific catch!
I like that winning the division is more important, too, Mick.
I like that you can watch both the games, but I think it's a shame that teams have to play in the late afternoon sun. Or the freezing rain, circa 2008 TB v. PHI. But that's the breaks. Conditions are the same for both teams.
Speaking of BAP, he once said he would want Prado on the Phils. He's definitely a nice player, but if I could pick a position player from the Braves to be on the Phils, it would be Freddie Freeman.
He is barely of legal drinking age and he's put up two seasons near 120 OPS+. Great patience at the plate, like a Dom Brown that actually hits the ball hard.
I get that the 2nd WC makes winning the division more important (to an extent), but I will always dislike any move that cheapens the importance of the regular season, and the more team you let into the postseason, the cheaper the regular season becomes.
Before the game, I was thinking it will be nice to just listen to a game, without any real rooting interest. Surely, I can put my personal preferences aside and just enjoy some good postseason baseball.
Then the game started and I'm reminded how I'd rather root for Al Qaeda than the Atlanta Braves...
Sniper Jones and The Al Quaeda Braves.
Fat, but couldn't you argue that by virtue of the 2nd WC team and the creation of the "play in" game, you actually put MORE importance on the regular season? Both of these teams now have to play a do-or-die game, using their best pitching (well, except for the Orioles...) and over-strategizing every pitch, just to get to turn around and immediately play a team with additional rest who got to better set their rotation.
Last year was much more fair to the WC winner. This year, they have to earn it. I actually like that better.
I'm beginning to wonder if any team that has a "Ross" on its roster for the postseason has a better chance of winning.
WP- I'm with you. As soon as I turned the TV on, I was done. Can't stand Atlanta.
And I was still relatively young when they actually were better than the Phils and tormented us on a yearly basis. That must have really inflicted some psychological damage on me, because Atlanta has done nothing at all to deter this team during its recent run of success- if anything their choking has helped us. And St. Louis obviously punked us last year, beating us and then winning the WS with an inferior team than we had in 2009, -10 or -11. Yet here I am, rooting for them.
Osama bin Medlen
One change I would like to see is to really make it harder for the wild card winner by not having any off days, and maybe have a 3-game series. If you're a wild card, you finish the regular season Wednesday, play a 3-game series Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then the winning team travels to the division winner for Game 1 on Sunday.
Having to travel twice for 1 game in 3 days is less of a disadvantage than having to travel 4 times for 3 games in 3 days before the NLDS.
WP, Iceman: I was thinking the same thing: indifference to the winner of a game in which I like neither team. It was the chop after the Ross HR that snapped me back to reality.
I don't remember David Ross. I had to look him up.
Why no McCann in the lineup?
I hate that the winner of this game gets the first two games at home in the next round.
That's just this year, though, right?
WP - Yes, next year the plan is to return to the 2-2-1 format.
WP: Yes. It is that way since the schedules were already made when Selig decided to add the second WC.
WP- I think it is just for this yead.
GBrett- McCann struggled badly in September (and the whole year, really). I haven't looked if Ross has great numbers against Lohse, or anything, but I think it's really just the poor performance of McCann. Surprising how far he's fallen this year.
Hard to believe this could be Chipper's last game.
WP, it makes it more annoying for the Braves, for sure, but the Cardinals would be sitting at home right now if this were still last year's format. That they still have a chance to win the WS means that winning in the regular season was less important for them this year as opposed to the year before.
One of my biggest problems with the NBA/NHL is that more than half the league gets into the playoffs. In the NBA, it's not a big deal, other than it wastes time for the top 3 seeds in each conference, but in hockey, where it's more of a crapshoot in the playoffs, I find myself completely disinterested in the regular season.
Preacher: My instinctively hostile reaction to the sight of the faces of Molina ... & Lohse ... & Freese ...
Point being, my bias is tilting in the other direction.
Can't make errors in the postseason.
GBrettFan: I'll bet the 2012 Phillies could!
Iceman, thanks for the McCann info.
Here come the Cards. There is something to be said for a potent offense.
GTown, that is a given, much to my chagrin.
I was thinking earlier how painful it would be if the Phillies had clawed their way to the 2nd WC...and then we watched Roy Halladay give up 5 runs to the Braves while our 98-lb. lineup, featuring Wigginton and MiniMart, scored but 2. With Howard injured, at least we wouldn't be watching him K for the final AB, though.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the consummate bittersweet season would wind up ending MUCH more bitter than sweet the moment Cholly had to pencil "Martinez" into the starting lineup of a playoff game...
GBrettFan: All things considered, it's probably a blessing Phillies fans were spared having to watch the '12 team in a single-game elimination.
Whoever said the baseball Gods had it in for Medlen today, good call.
Can't count on anything with Lohse on the mound though. We all have seen what he does in the postseason. Plus, he is on the 'Can Fall Apart In The Time It Takes To Tie Your Shoes' All-Stars.
Nice bunt single! By a catcher, no less. This David Ross is having a good game.
All kinds of craziness going on here.
Hm. Interesting.
Bunting in front of the pitcher with 1 out...dumb.
Simmons? Wow, I really don't know this Braves team at all. I must not have paid enough attention when the Phillies played ATL this year.
Bunting there with the pitcher on deck was moronic and Ive never seen a hitter run that far inside the basepath.
If I didn't know better I'd say that was a Fredi Gonzalez production.
Iceman, I figured that his performance, obviously, is not sustainable, and that what better time to come back to earth than the pressure of a "win-or-go-home" game.
Sadly, I figured this premonition was more my anti-Brave bias than anything, so I never put my money where my mouth was.
My son just told me that his HS geography teacher, who is also the baseball coach, told them that one of the A's went to their HS! Sean Doolittle. That's pretty cool and will give me a bigger interest in the A's, although I don't know the family. (They live in a nearby town that now attends a different HS.)
No surprise that the bunt was a Gonzalez decisions. Likely the worst manager in baseball.
I got a kick out of Murphy's tweet before the game:
High Cheese @HighCheese
I'd never pick a baseball team to lose simply based on manager. But if I did, that team would be managed by Fredi Gonzalez
I guess I should start attending the high school baseball games! Never know when a future MLB player is there. Apparently Doolittle broke the state record for most strikeouts in a game and hit well - led the team to a state championship. You can imagine how excited my son's teacher is, as his former coach.
Nice play by Lohse to not panic and get Bourn.
I agree, Fata. Nice play.
WP: I was actually the one with the crack about the baseball gods and Medlen. Who knows how it ends but 23 wins in a row. You're just begging for trouble with a streak like that coming into the playoffs.
Wow. What a poorly written post. Apologies. Swear I haven't touched a drop either.
I was working in Rancho Bernardo (San Diego) when Cole was pitching there. I always said I'd get to a game but never did. I gather that high school was referred to as "the factory" for the pro prospects it generated. Coulda shoulda...
Wow the sound on TBS is awful! Almost makes it unwatchable
Forgot to add Holliday to my Face Hate list. There's nothing good about St. Louis.
"There's nothing good about St. Louis."
Except for the fact that they're not the Atlanta Ugglas.
Also, let's go Orioles. Let's go A's.
Hey Uggla, after the season, I want my arms back.
Why is it that the Anaheim fans knew when the Rally Monkey's days had passed, yet the Braves "fans" can't let go of this stupid Tomahawk Chop?
I fully expect that if the Cardinals advance to the World Series, that Tony LaRussa demands to manage it.
After his winning HFA and an undefeated 2012, it would make the AL MVP debate look like media child's play.
Matheny over managing here?
Watching this game it's like the Cardinals are a machine - doing everything right.
I repeat: You can't make errors in the postseason.
Especially when the Postseason is a whole one game in length.
Durbin got the ground ball out, not his fault that Simmons flubbed it. Is he being removed for a matchup?
Oh man. The Braves are going to forever hate the Cards if this holds up. Two years in a row.
Right, GTown. Especially when it's only 1 game.
Cardinals are a strong team. I'd rather be the Reds and face the Giants, I think. Unless the Braves pull out a win. But the Nats are also strong.
Another obvious weakness of this format: the "drama" of a one game playoff disappears real fast when said game is a blowout. A series leaves room for ups & downs.
The Braves are doing their postseason thing.
So the Braves have made 3 throwing errors and 1 baserunning error.
Is anyone else having déjà vu?
I don't care about that, GTown. I still like that the division winner doesn't have to play a single elimination game but the WC winner does.
I'm definitely more relaxed than I would be if the Phillies were playing.
How do the Cards manage to so frequently contend? Props must go to that organization. They have a devoted fan base, too. Even though it can be miserably muggy in St. Louis in the summer.
Gotta love the bat flip out of the box on a triple in a 4-run game.
I will admit it's kind of fun how St. Louis decided to not break the bank for Pujols, yet they're still playing, & the Angels are not.
I can't take that damn tomahawk chop. I'm watching Bull Durham on HBO when the Braves are at the plate.
I hate the term 'battle-tested,' or anything of the like, but I think if ever such a term applied to a team, it would have to apply to the Cards. How many of these types of games have they played in the last 365 days? Like 20-25 borderline-to-absolute one-run games?
They have to be entirely confident in pulling these types of games out. At the very least, it is evident in the type of mistake-free, flawless execution they've shown in this game.
(Although they got completely shut down by Halladay in a do-or-die game and would have lost if the Philadelphia offense didn't choke on itself. Damn it all)
Here come the Braves!
If Larry's career ends like that, I'm okay with it.
Change one-run to 'must-win.' Thinking Orioles I guess.
GTown: if Trout was truly MVP the Angels would still be playing.
Errors have really hurt the Braves. And the Cardinals have capitalized on those opportunities.
What hell happened? Did the great Medlen not take care of business?
clout: Clearly, MLB doesn't appreciate the tremendous fan excitement inherent in calculating & recalculating a player's WAR, or a special exemption would have been made for Trout's club. Cretins.
4 chances with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs for St. Louis. They scored all 4 of them (granted, one was on an error).
Scott, please remove that post.
Chipper Jones is looking directly into my soul, and I don't like it!

The student pilot reportedly purchased the airplane several months prior to the accident, and was on a local flight when the accident flight occurred. The pilot stated that the airplane got low during an approach to the runway, so he added engine power, but the engine did not respond. The airplane then impacted a guardrail short of the runway. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Inspector, who responded to the scene, stated that the pilot had reported putting 5 gallons of fuel in the airplane prior to flight, that the pilot had been airborne for about an hour, and the engine used about 4 gallons per hour. In a telephone interview with the NTSB Investigator in Charge (IIC), the pilot stated the engine did not produce power during the approach, and he thought that the airplane might have encountered carburetor icing. The pilot failed to submit a NTSB form 6120.1, Pilot/Operator Accident/Incident Report, as requested.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Favors by Dorinda
The owner has indicated they are no longer in business.
Dorinda has you covered. Great customer service and very helpful. A real wedding pro.
Dorinda from Favors by Dorinda provides great candy bar wrappers and much more with an outstanding customer service !!!
Favors by Dorinda is terrific. I asked her to join an open house I was putting together and she accepted. She was the first of the vendors to get me their materials. I truly wanted to steal one of her chocolate packages for myself. Excellant!!! She is a true professional in all aspects of the word.
Dorinda is a dynamo and a true pro in what she does. Her favors are incredibly fun and whimsical, yet elegant and stylish. Definitely take a look at her site when you're considering favors for your wedding or any event.
I met Dorinda through a social network and she really didn't talk about what she does much - we just talked back and forth about other issues - we clicked right away. I became the winner of one of her fabulous giveaways which was filled with custom initial and name items and of course CHOCOLATES!!! i received the cutest and largest coffee cup i now possess and love my coffee in it each morning. Dorinda is fun, professional, sweet souled (but I'd never tell her that-yuk). Perfect combo and person to have for your special day....Dorinda + Chocolate = Heaven!
Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to work on several collaboration projects with Favors by Dorinda. She is very easy to work with and very creative. There is no candy bar wrapper she cannot design!
Dorinda is a hardworking business owner. She's a "go getter" and an encouragement to have in this industry. I've been working with her on coordinating wedding accessories and everything she's shown me thus far has been fabulous.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Dorinda in person over the summer of 2010. I was able to see her Chocolate bar samples in person and even one of her Favor cakes! Everything is lovely! Working with her has been great - I highly recommend her to all brides and vendors looking for something Sweetly Unique to personalize their wedding and/or event.
We came into contact with Dorinda via one of our social networks and instantly loved her products! The candy bar wrappers are fully personalized and look so cute and elegant for weddings and special events. What we think is super cool are the time capsules she does...check them out! Definitely look to Favors by Dorinda for your delicious, party needs!
Where do I begin. I met Dorinda via twitter and instantly fell in love with her work. Her creativity and overall talent is amazing! She is professional, sweet and very easy to work with. I would refer her favor service to everyone I know. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.
I have been working with Dorinda of Favors by Dorinda for many years, and every time she makes me feel at ease. When there was something that I could not provide for my brides, I would send them to her. Dorinda creates unique candy wrappers for the brides, by making them into Centerpieces and anything that you can think of, my brides love working with her. Dorinda makes you feel that you are her only client. I would recommemend Dorinda for any sweet occasion in your life.

November 28, 2014
September 17, 2005
Today dozens from the community participated in the Boys and Girls Club's first annual "Children's Health and Fitness Fair."
The overall mission of Saturday's health fair was to encourage kids of all ages as well as their parents to live healthy lifestyles.
Dozens of local parents brought their kids to the Boys and Girls Club on Cherry Avenue to take advantage of free screenings and medical advice.
The event, sponsored by the University of Virginia's Children's Hospital, provided several services, including asthma and scoliosis screenings as well as blood pressure checks and sports physicals.
Officials involved said the event was a rewarding experience for everyone.
"The reward is when you see a child come through and they're smiling and learning something new about health, they're learning something new about nutrition, and they're having a great time," says Timothy Sinatra, the Boys and Girls Club Executive Director.
Organizers believe their first annual health fair went extremely well, and they're looking to make it bigger and better in the future.

Steinberg Unveils Measure to Provide Online College Courses for Credit
Statewide System would be First in the Nation
(Sacramento) – A measure designed to increase access to California college and university classes and help hundreds of thousands of students avoid delays in completing their degree courses is being introduced by Senate President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg. SB 520 would create a first-of-its-kind statewide network of faculty-approved online college courses for credit.
"The California Master Plan for Higher Education promised open access to all, yet thousands of students are struggling to complete their degrees and going deeper in college debt because there simply aren't enough classroom seats available in the courses they need," said Steinberg (D-Sacramento). "We need to tear down these barriers. We want to lead the nation in melding technology with our great institutions of higher learning. No college student in California should be denied the right to move through their education because they couldn't get a seat for the course they needed. "
SB 520 as amended, co-authored by former college faculty member and Assemblymember Cristina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens), would provide online college courses for credit for the 50 most over-subscribed lower division courses in the University of California, California State University and California Community College systems. The online courses would only be available for students unable to enroll due to space limitations in impacted on-campus classes necessary to complete programs or meet General Education requirements, or to fulfill requirements to transfer from a community college to a four-year institution.
The online courses would require rigorous review and approval by a nine-member college faculty council, comprised of three members each from the Academic Senates of the UC, CSU and California Community College systems. When online education providers submit courses for approval, the council will consider how the course provides interaction between instructors and students and the provisions for a proctored assessment and exam process to ensure academic integrity and accurate measurement of student learning.
"The need for this online lifeline for students is critical," said Steinberg. Last fall, 80 percent of the state's 112 community college campuses reported waitlists for classes. On average, that equates to about 7,000 enrolled students forced onto a waitlist at each campus. Only 16 percent of CSU students, and 60 percent of UC students, are finishing their degrees within four years due in large part to impacted classes.
SB 520 was detailed during an online press conference today with Pro Tem Steinberg, joined by Assemblymember Garcia; Senator Marty Block (D-San Diego), Chair of the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Subcommittee on Education; Richard Copenhagen, President of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges; and Michelle Pilati, President of the statewide Academic Senate for California Community Colleges. In addition, Dr. Sebastian Thrun, co-founder and CEO of Udacity, an online private education provider, joined the conversation via Google Hangout, along with several education reporters from across the state.
Please find attached a fact sheet and draft language of SB 520 as amended. The press conference will be archived later today at http://smc.calegis.net/budget2013

Cubs blow another lead but beat Mariners in 11
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com June 29, 2013 10:14PM
Article Extras
Updated: June 30, 2013 12:07AM
SEATTLE — The bullpen blew another one, but oft-maligned Alfonso Soriano delivered a game-winning, two-run homer for the Cubs in the 11th inning to beat the Seattle Mariners 5-3 on Saturday at Safeco Field.
Soriano, whose playing time in the second half of the season was called into question by manager Dale Sveum on Friday, has gone 5-for-9 with two homers and four RBI as the Cubs' DH since then.
He also delivered a go-ahead single with two outs in the sixth on Saturday.
Rookie Blake Parker, whom Sveum said could get closing opportunities if Kevin Gregg is traded next month, earned his first career save with a perfect 11th.
Gregg was perfect in 12 save chances before the ninth on Saturday. He began the Mariners' rally with one out by walking 41-year-old, last-resort pinch hitter Henry Blanco, whose last baseball headline involved getting released by the Toronto Blue Jays this month.
After a grounder to first moved pinch runner Michael Saunders to second, Endy Chavez snapped a 0-for-19 skid with a game-tying single up the middle.
The Mariners were 0-34 when trailing after seven innings before they came back Friday to tie in the eighth and win in the 10th.
It was the third time Jeff Samardzija has lost a win because of a blown save.
The right-hander pitched seven strong innings, retiring 16 of the final 19 he faced to hand a 3-2 lead to the pen.
Starlin Castro, who is 6-for-19 in four games since his first day off since 2011, homered in the first. He also ended a first-and-third threat in the 10th with a grounder to short.
The Cubs regained the lead in the sixth on a one-out double by Luis Valbuena and back-to-back, two-out, RBI singles by Nate Schierholtz and Soriano.
Cubs center fielder Ryan Sweeney left the game in the fourth after hurting his ribs crashing into the wall to make a catch in the third. The severity of the injury was not immediately known.

Faculty Services
There are many opportunities for faculty and students to use the Haffenreffer Museum's collections in teaching and research.
The Haffenreffer provides support for courses in areas including American civilization, anthropology, archaeology, art history, history, ethnic studies, and public humanities. We co-sponsor courses with the departments of Anthropology and American Civilization, and the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World. Faculty can choose from the 110,00 artifacts in the collections that might be of use in their classes or research. The Museum staff is available to help find needed materials, and our on-line database will be ready soon. The Faculty Fellows Program helps to train Brown University faculty to better use museum collections and resources in their teaching.
Your class is welcome to visit the Haffenreffer Museum's exhibits located in Manning Hall. Current exhibits are listed here. The Museum is free and open to the public Tuesdays through Sundays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Groups of more than ten participants are encouraged to call 401-863-5700 at least two weeks in advance to schedule the space. There is a maximum of 40 group participants allowed in the Museum at any one time.
We can bring objects to classes on campus along with museum experts to work with them, or to help explain how to use material culture evidence. Faculty are welcome to schedule a class in our CultureLab in Manning Hall, storing objects needed there. To see how this is currently being done, stop by Manning Hall and take a look at the objects being used by several courses in anthropology, archaeology, and ethnic studies in our CultureLab.
In addition, Faculty are invited to use museum artifacts at the Collections Research Center in Bristol. We have completely revamped our storage areas, and almost everything in the collection is not only in good environmental conditions; it's also now easily accessible. Classes are welcome to visit the Collections Research Center. We can set up a tour, or pull objects from storage for seminars. A RISD Jewelry class recently took advantage of this and a wonderful time was had by all learning about adornment from around the globe (see photo).
The Museum offers space in Manning for class-curated exhibitions – and we're open to the possibility of exhibitions elsewhere on campus. We can provide exhibit cases and appropriate artifacts for interested departments. We are always open to suggestions, so please feel free to contact us about any ideas or requests you may have.
Finally, a limited number of small grants for systematic field collecting are available to Brown University faculty, museum staff, and advanced students in anthropology. Those who are preparing to go into the field and who may be interested should consult with the Museum's director and/or curatorial staff about an appropriate collection that could be made for the Museum. Together they will develop a responsible strategy for collecting, documentation, fiscal accounting, and shipping materials.

Nope, not even that.

There was a lot of complaining after a number of users found their phone still locked after they initially put in a local SIM and some outlandish SIM straight afterwards, It seems Samsung was serious about local activation: you need to use it for a while what effectively destroys quick-insert-and-resell-later schemes.

German boffins aim to burn natural gas - WITHOUT CO2 emissions
Re: pointless stupidity
"No, it's very easy to grasp. However he fact that the atmosphere is saturated with water vapour, but not with CO2 seeems very hard for some people to grasp."
Given its nonlinear behaviour as greenhouse gas, puffing more CO2 into the atmosphere won't do much anymore. We'll suffocate of its abundance before dying of heat IMHO...
"And the fact that there is NO TREND in solar flux changes is hard for some people to grasp."
There's more to solar flux than an IR component. Other EM radiation types as well as particle outputs can all attribute to our climate in different ways. It's not the solar flux itself, but primarily its composition (as well as other cosmic radiation).
Concerning the CO2 greenhouse issue, there are multiple reasons to have great suspicions towards it. But most other (80%) climate changing factors have not nearly been researched as good as the (modeled...) 20% CO2 factor. It's just not a clear cut issue. Dwelling on CO2 is easy to sell to the public, but we may miss other more important factors while riding the CO2 bandwagon all the time. Funding should be spread more to give all possible attributing factors a good chance to be researched. That's my 2 cents at least.

Okay, a well written article and fine piece of scientific research. But you only pick an issue that helps your view and discard everything else it seems.
1) Modeling finds a 20% attribution of CO2, so would it not be well worth to look into the other 80% ?
2) Modeling finds that the CO2 attribution behaves non linear: "the impact of removing the CO2 is approximately seven times as large as doubling it" or as gary27 stated: "greenhouse effect of co2 now mostly done - think saturation law of diminishing returns";
3) Every model makes assumptions of values of other variables. In this case, the model greatly simplifies the earth and weather. It can therefore by no means be seen as being "actual evidence". It is, at most, a very good piece of work to understand what the effects of CO2 could have been, given a certain basic environment. It helps getting an understanding of the issues at hand, no more.
4) The article describes a negative net greenhouse effect of clouds, which of course creates a negative feedback to heating. Cloud cover also increases as more cosmic radiation falls upon earth, so which percentage of our current heating can be attributed to less cosmic radiation than usual ?
I mean, it's not so simple. Any model can find suspects for both cooling and heating. The real world is way more complex than that. I think CO2 is much overhyped. Farting animals and vulcanism ? Good suspects too. But we really don't want to get rid of our cows and pigs or welcome big vulcanic eruptions. We *can* get a grip on CO2, so come on, create world peace and join together to fight it.
Re: pointless stupidity
gary27, you made my day.
No one ever seems to point out the differences of IR absorption between all gases/vapours that enrich our atmosphere. The tiny, tiny greenhouse effect of CO2 in relation to others, (most of all plain water vapour being very, very abundant) seems to difficult to grasp...
Even small amounts of radiation differences we receive of our Sun have vastly greater effects.
It's not easy to jump of a popular bandwagon it seems. CO2 it is. It *must* be. Yeah... :(

First Samsung Galaxy S4 review leak: Stop FONDLING, start FINGERING
Re: Why have 12 cylinders when you can have just 1?
Well, 4 superfast cores solving the problem quickly, what results in a 95% mean idle time on a single low power core is very power efficient.
It seems counter intuitive, but more power and good power management can easily result in overall low power solutions. The battery will probably last much longer than the Galaxy SIII's...

Astroboffins map GIANT MASS of dark matter
Re: Dark Matter ..

Re: Dark Matter ..
TYVM for the food for thought.
I only just recently started taking more interest in the DM/DE physics and don't know all these facts yet, so your story helps. An amateur with a keen mind, no more. It needs a bit of time to sink all in though.. :) I am thinking about an astronomy study after my retirement: a.t.m., I'm just an IT guy and need another 15 years or so before I really get the time to do that.
Re: Dark Matter ..
@HolyFreakinGhost "The point of dark matter is that is *does* clump."
I'm not mathematically involved, but I beg to differ... :) If it really did clump, it would concentrate right in the core of stars, galaxy's etc. or in itself for that matter. It does not. It just floats in the vicinity of great lumps of matter (halo's of galaxies/clusters), "trying to get away" but grabbed by gravity. Gravity seems to win upto a point where the repulsion gets the upper hand, so it ends up in an awkward equilibrium.
This is for me the only way I can explain it for myself as far as I understand it, but, IANAM(athgeek)...
Re: Dark Matter ..
"Why doesn't dark matter clump ?"
Dark matter has a sort of repulsive trade, at least towards regular matter, but it seems to dark matter itself too.
It doesn't clump: it wants to distribute itself as evenly as possible in the available space and would have done so if it wasn't affected by gravity.
A sort of an energy field for which we have no means of detection rather that the gravity with which it interacts.
Very strange stuff indeed...

I'll start advocating getting rid of them altogether, just for myself and whoever wants to hear my reasons for it. I hope every sensible Registrar may follow suit. Just get the ball rolling. It will eventually hit some influential persons probably...
