Geneva: Spania GTA Spano packs 900 hp, acres of carbon fiber
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Geneva Motor Show, Europe
Spania landed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with its GTA Spano. The latest take on the company's supercar packs a 900 horsepower twin-turbocharged 8.4-liter V10 with a similarly impressive 737 pound-feet of torque. With just 2,976 pounds to move around, that big mill has no trouble hustling the car to speed. Spania says the GTA Spano can blink to 62 miles per hour in under 3 seconds and knock out a top speed of 217 miles per hour thanks in part to a 7-speed sequential gearbox.
Engineers managed to keep weight at bay thanks to plenty of carbon fiber. In addition to comprising all of the exterior bodywork, the composite joins a titanium honeycomb and Kevlar to make up the vehicle's monocoque. Stopping duty falls on the shoulder of a set of AP Racing carbon-ceramic brakes pressed by six-piston calipers. There's no word on how much this creation will cost you, but we're betting it's more than a few piggies worth of pennies. Scroll down for the full press release.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Blood Types and Having Cancer
Posted By: Gail Orner
What Peter says in ER4YT about cancer vis-a-vis the blood types is being played out in my own family.
As I've posted on this Board before, I have Ovarian cancer (diagnosed 3 years ago as Stage III, Level 3, Grade C) and since being on ER4YT, my cancer growth has stablilized (the CA125 blood test values have stayed at around 400, normal range is 0-35) -- a very unusual occurrence. My doctor continues to tell me that she has never seen anything like it -- in her experience, ovarian cancer doesn't just stop growing without some sort of medical intervention. And, although my CA125 is elevated, I feel very well, work full time, spend time with friends and practice my Faith -- all of which are also highly significant factors in my continuing good health. And, as a bonus, I have lost 39 pounds.
My sister, who also has advanced Ovarian Cancer, spent the month of December participating in a clinical trial in Philadelphia for a new procedure called Photo-dynamic therapy. She elected to undergo this procedure as the standard treatment for ovarian cancer wasn't working for her (she is an "A", and has had a very difficult and different experience with this disease than I have had). Her condition was critical for several weeks following the Photo-dynamic therapy, but now we have reason to be hopeful of her recovery. And she has dropped her resistance to ER4YT (as I've posted before, her resistance was due to years of being ripped off by the diet industry combined with the woman-hating aspect of the diet mentality in the US - but she now sees that ER4YT is different).
It is so important that this information (ER4YT) be widely dessiminated. All doctors, perhaps especially Oncologists, need to be made aware of this information. I become quite upset with the critics of the diet who are not really presenting critical, scientifically based analyses of ER4YT, but are only promoting their own agendas and in so doing are depriving millions of people of their health and well-being.
While I by no means believe that ER4YT takes the place of standard medical treatment for cancer (although it probably does go a long way toward preventing cancer from occurrring in the first place), I do believe ER4YT can be a critical factor in improving the quality of life and, in my case, its longevity as well.
So, once again, thank you Peter.
I hope you are all having a lovely day.

As much as I put into my Google Calendar, I still enjoy the feeling of crossing things off my to-do list. I am also quite picky about format. Here is a format for a daily schedule that I usually hand write each day. I finally converted it to digital format for printing. This schedule works in conjunction with my Google Calendar. It works for me and thought, hey, maybe it would work for you, too. It's nothing fancy but it works.

'Parenthood' - 'The Deep End of the Pool' Recap
(S01E03) "You know Crosby, however hard you think it is having a kid, just double it." - Adam to Crosby as Crosby cleans kid puke out of his car
This week, things have slowed down a bit, compared to the land speed record that last week's episode achieved. And the show has started to grow on me a little bit.
It scored some great moments of sentiment and honest drama that were endearing and drew me a little closer to the characters, but it's still lacking in that other, all important area of the dramedy: the comedy.
The highlights of the episodes were between Crosby, played by Dax Shepard, and his new-found son Jabbar who get to spend a whole day together since his mom has a big dance audition. Crosby clearly wants to get to know his son, but in a way that doesn't interrupt his own life including the relationship he has with the woman he's about to marry. The moments between the two only took up a small portion of the episode, but it left me wanting to know and see more since it was the most promising outlet for comedy and humanity. In fact, their relationship alone could have made for its own great series.
The same goes for the Max angle and his parents who are finally coming to grips with his disorder and how it's not just affecting him but the entire family. Getting kicked out of school for smashing the class fish tank put yet another realistic spin on this serious plot line, and even though it led to a few stereotypical moments like Adam and Kristina begging the principal of the special school to make room for their son, it felt real and endearing. Even people without children could appreciate their situation.
That being said, the series continues to drag on the comedy side of things. Sarah's opening situation where she dumps the coffee house guy and his merry band of baristas attack her broken down car had me giggling, but the rest of the show didn't really have any good laughs left in it. Some might defend the lack of hilarity as the power of its dramatic element, but it's really not designed or even marketed to be a powerhouse of drama. It's supposed to have some comedy to it and it just wasn't there.
The low point of the evening was definitely Julia's ongoing battle to wrestle her family life out of Racquel's evil Buddhist clutches. It fell in that classic TV family comedy trap door of the parent trying to impose herself on her children, in this case Julia's swimming prowess on her daughter and the moment that she tries to do it by forcing her to swim from the deep end was painful to watch and not for the right reason. You could tell what was coming and the whole dramatic angle felt weak and dry.
At least it matched well with the comedy.
Other observations
- When Jabbar got sick after eating chocolate in Crosby's car, the first thought I had was, "Wouldn't a mother tell their babysitter that their children is lactose intolerant?" Then again, if you're letting Dax Shepard babysit, maybe you're not that good of a parent to begin with. No offense, Dax.
- Zeek thinks a 1948 four-door Caddy is a good car? The thing looks like a Volvo with encephalltis.

Or is this an amusement-purposes-only exercise?
[poll id="32″]
They don't matter in the least. Some politicians don't care about American citizens–only about themselves.
If a politician talks out both sides of his mouth and intends to take away Medicare, Social Security, and any other support system my family and I have contributed to, another hour of lies on television won't change my opinion.
After the last four years of high unemployment, growing poverty, shrinking personal incomes, record federal deficits, trillions of new national debt, millions more on welfare, etc etc ad nauseum, it may be hard for some to keep an open mind when listening to those, who have overseen these economic conditions, explain why their policies have failed. But, perhaps, those responsible (for burying the middle class over the last four years, as per VP Biden) will offer up new ideas, rather than the same failed policies of the last four years.
Let's keep open minds, as we listen to those responsible for the failures of the last four years, and those who offer an alternative to those failed policies.
Why bother? They all agree on everything anyway: government is the solution to every problem. Let Gary Johnson debate and you'll hear some REAL solutions.

Le Jour, La Nuit, Le Weekend De Chanel
I'm a huge fan of strolling around the beauty counters in department stores. I used to find them intimidating but recently I've relaxed a bit & started to really enjoy the experience.
The last few times I've been on the hunt for foundations & a few weeks ago I stopped by at Chanel to try on the Vitalumier Aqua (which was lovely) & while I was there I got chatting to the visiting expert about how dehydrated my skin is & she thought I should try these three out.
As a general rule I don't like to write about mini freebees as I don't feel that I can get enough use out of them to give an honest opinion but these three together lasted me a fortnight & I really enjoyed using them so I decided to make an exception. The full sized products are 50ml which should last you a few month if using them as instructed.
I was advised to use each product after cleansing & before moisturising. Le Jour De Chanel in the mornings, La Nuit De Chanel in the evenings & Le Weekend De Chanel on the weekends. I used them in place of my serum as I felt like that's where they should sit in my cleansing routine.
Le Jour is translucent lotion where as La Nuit & Le Weekend are an opaque white cream. They all smell amazing & encourage you to massage your face for longer than you may without including this step, but I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea of 3 products working together over the week. I didn't personally find that Le Weekend De Chanel did a lot more for my skin than La Nuit. I would be temped to stick to just Le Jour & La Nuit & indulge with a face mask, glass of wine & bubble bath for the weekend.
Individually they cost more than I expected but I don't think that they are necessarily over priced. I do however think that, for the average person, parting with £192 for three products that add to, rather than replace, a step in your cleansing regime is probably going to be a bit eye-watering.
Since swapping back to my serum my skin hasn't missed Chanel but I can't deny that my dressing table has. There is something so beautifully chic about Chanel & I can honestly say I felt happy seeing it there in the morning & evening. I'm aware of how shallow that may sound but I do believe that it doesn't matter how effective something is if you find it a chore to use & are miserable after using it. These are gloriously easy to add to your existing regime & I defy anyone not to feel more glamorous after using them.

More than half a dozen teens chase down a man and beat him up just to take his bike and some little money from him. The attacked happened Monday night near LB McLeod Road and 29th Street in front of Catalina Elementary School.
[RECOMMENDED: 'Spiritual' mail shuts down post office | Man pulls gun on UPS driver over parking spot | 'Scream' mask spooks resident ]
Jimmie Thompson, 67, says he was heading home and riding his bike across the street at Clear Lake Park when he was attacked by seven to eight teens.
"One of them said, 'you, come here,'" said Thompson. "That's when I knew something wasn't right."
Thompson says he started to pedal faster toward his house, but the teens started to follow him. That's when he told police that one of the teens on a bike caught up to him, grabbed his bike, and pushed him over. He says the teens attacked him and hit him with a tree branch.
"I went down and I was laying on my back and my side and they were kicking me and smacking me," said Thompson. "They kept kicking me and kicking me."
The teens then took off and Thompson was able to call 911. He says the teens got away with his $500 black and gold 'Gary Fischer' bike and his bike pouch, which Thompson later found empty in a nearby dumpster.
[DID YOU SEE THESE? Creepy Santas | Mugshot hall of shame ]
Thompson managed to get away with only a scrape on his knee. He says the teens also got some change and a couple of bank cards.
He says he has some advice for the teens responsible.
"Stay home, get some books, get a life. Learn your history and stop running the streets acting like a fool."

Automatic Quota Control | Limit Responses
How can I limit responses for my survey?
Responses to a survey can be limited using Automatic Quota Control. For example: If you want 75 responses for you survey then you can set this up under Automatic Quota Control. Go to:
Login » Surveys » (Select Survey) » Security
1. Screenshot
Enter Survey Quota and once you receive the set number of completed responses, no further responses will be accepted. An inactive survey message will be displayed on the survey once the quota is reached. This message can be edited by clicking on the Inactive Message link.
2. Screenshot
Note: If you have "Branching" and "Termination" enabled in your survey, the count represents the total number of users who have completed the survey *without* getting terminated ie. gone through the last question of the survey.
I had set quota control however, I have received more responses than the set quota.
Quota Control is activated only once the set number of
Responses are saved. If respondents have already started taking the survey and while they are completeing the survey the quota is reached, they will still be able to complete the survey. This is the reason why there might be slightly greater number of completed responses than the quota set.
How can I disable Quota Control?
By default Survey Quota is set to 0. Survey Quota = 0 allows unlimited responses to the survey. If you have enabled Quota Control and later on wish to remove it, update the Survey Quota value to 0.

Despite her hectic schedule though, the stylish headmistress turned heads during the Queen's recent visit to Enniskillen in her outfit from none other than M&S.
And when she (reluctantly!) agreed to be this week's Lifestyle model, she was quick to point out that when it comes to fashion, she isn't drawn in by big brand name labels.
"I think as you get older you grow into your body," said Mrs Kerr, "You wear what suits you, you shop for what suits your body and not what the label is or what's in trend. Next's jeans are the only kind of jeans that I like. I have tried designer jeans and they don't work for me. I would rather wear clothes that haven't broken the bank and team them with a nice pair of shoes."
Indeed as she modelled her first look, a casual pair of jeans, top and necklace from Next and eye-catching shoes by Irregular Choice in Shuphoric, her penchant for heels became all too clear.
"Shoes are my weakness," she confessed, "I have quite a few pairs to my name!"
And it seems her seven-year-old daughter, Alex, is following in her stilettoed footsteps.
"She loves Lelli Kelly shoes," explained Mrs Kerr, "She loves her style. Everything has to match and be co-ordinated. Anything she puts in her hair has to match the clothes that she is wearing!"
In her second outfit for the photoshoot, a dress from Next and shoes from Shuphoric, Mrs Kerr displayed her talents in customising her look to suit her style.
"I didn't like the belt that came with this dress so I took it off and added my own and then the expensive shoes!" she said.
The primary school principal had the opportunity to meet with the Queen when she took her historic steps in St Michael's Church last month.
But it's not the first time the two fashionistas have come face to face!
"That's actually the third time I have met her," said Mrs Kerr, "She was very relaxed in St Michael's, very smiley and pleased to see everyone. The other two times I have met her were very formal occasions. I'm a Queen's Scout so I met her at a Colour Party at Windsor and at a garden party for her Golden Jubilee."
Wearing a black dress from M&S, black shoes with a hint of leopard print and a matching leopard print bag from Hepburn, the mum of one was celebrating her 19th wedding anniversary on the day of the shoot.
"We always get out the wedding video on every wedding anniversary," she explained, "When I got married it was all about the Lady Diana wedding dress -- the meringue! But I went against the grain and went for a straight dress. I remember coming down the stairs on my wedding day and daddy looking at me asking: 'Is that it?!' But when I look back now I'm glad that I went for that straight dress because it has stood the test of time. And that's the way I am about all my clothes, I like something that will last.
"I would always go for that rather than something that is in fashion at the moment."
Wearing a jumpsuit from M&S and pointed-toe slingbacks bought during a holiday in Spain, she admitted though that she has had her fair share of fashion disasters over the years too!
"Green leggings and flat shoes for one!" she said, "I was going to a disco. At the time I thought I was gorgeous!"
A principal in Fermanagh for the last 19 years, Mrs Kerr, originally from Lisburn, has been kept on her toes in work.
From dressing up as the Queen to mark the Diamond Jubilee to organising a lipdub to mark 30 years of integrated education in Northern Ireland, this year the principal has gone all out to capture the imagination of her pupils.
But now almost finished with school work for this year, she is looking forward to a bit of R&R at home.
Wearing a sparkly dress from M&S and shoes from Next, she described how spare time is precious to her.
"I do zumba dancing with Dylan Quinn and since we have two dogs we do lots of walking up at Springfield where we live. I also enjoy spending lots of time with my family too, that's really important to me. In the summer everybody comes down to stay with us. We always say our house is like a B&B at this time of the year!"

Star Power: Weekly Astrological Advice For You & Your Favorite Divas (page 6)
March 23, 2011 2:28 PM
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)
The Sun will be in Mercury, Uranus, and Jupiter in your house of intimacy and intrigue, gives you powerful mojo without forcing you to show all your goodies. If you are in job negotiations or trying to woo over a hottie, keep back, stay coy and charming, and let them come to you.
You will also be thinking of joining financial forces with someone.
Don't unless you have completely reached the same terms of agreement. Hold out for someone that really wants to devote themselves to you–whether that be in a relationship of in business–and always maintain control.
Hold on to your beautiful dreams and don't let them fall to the wayside because you were a) too frank or b) too gullible.

Sarah Palin may be trying to take over feminism and reacquisition it for her conservative causes, but the true leader in feminism, Gloria Steinem, will never let it go without a fight.
Steinem and Woman's Media Center president Jehmue Greene sat down for an interview with Katie Couric last week, where they discussed the women in the workforce,
Alternet has the full transcript of the interview, and the following are a few excerpts.
On equality between the sexes in employment and homelife:
COURIC: [L]et's talk about some of the negative statistics and why they still exist. Now this is according to the White House Project. Women account for only 18% of our top leaders in all fields. In politics – in female representation — the US has dropped to the 69th spot, behind Iraq and North Korea, which I found so shocking. In 1993 women were 12% of partners in law firms. Today it's a whopping 18%. Only 17% of Congress is made up of women. Women make 78.7 cents for every dollar a man makes. And women earn more college degrees, as I mentioned, but hold only 16% of leadership roles in the business world, 23% in academia, and 22% in journalism. And of course the number that you mentioned are decision‐making ‐- I guess management ‐- jobs. So why these depressing statistics? What's behind this? And why haven't we come further if so many strides have been made?
STEINEM: Patriarchy is behind this and racism is behind this. These are really old systems so it takes quite awhile.We had a suffragist and an abolitionist movement that gained a legal identity as human beings for women of all races and men of color. That took more than 100 years. Now we're striving for legal and social equality. That's gonna take 100 years probably. We're only 30 years into it. This is a long process and we've come an incredible distance, which we need to celebrate, but really the problem mainly is our idea of our sound bite minds that we think it's going to happen right away. We have to do as much as we can every day and push the boundaries. But we also have to plan for our daughters and our grandsons who are also going to be feminists. We have to look forward…There's progress but I think we're mostly measuring progress by whether or not women are doing what men used to do. We need to also measure whether men are being nurturing parents and being truly parents, because women cannot do two full time jobs. And that is the problem of most women in this country right now — they're working outside the home and inside the home too. And men are missing being nurturing parents. There are all kinds of wonderful studies showing that men live longer, have fewer illnesses, less depression, better sex lives, all kinds of things if they are egalitarian parents.
On reproductive health:
COURIC: Wasn't that just an extension, though, of the Hyde Amendment which basically said no federal funds could be used…
STEINEM: No. No, it went further than the Hyde Amendment. And the Hyde Amendment should be repealed. You know, it was challenged in the Supreme Court. If there had been more women at the time on the Court we wouldn't have the Hyde Amendment because it penalizes poor women terribly.
COURIC: Right
STEINEM: But you know I think we need to understand, if we get the politics of reproduction, we're not so mystified by what happens. For instance sometimes on campus, students will say to me "Why are these right wing groups both against contraception and lesbians? " Haha. Which they find bizarre. And I say but you know it's not bizarre. It's rational because they're against any form of sexual expression that doesn't end in conception or that can't end in conception. So those are condemned by the same groups even though it may seem irrational.
On Sarah Palin:
COURIC: While we're on the subject of reproductive rights, can you be a conservative feminist? Sarah Palin recently I think rankled some traditional feminists by calling herself a feminist, despite the fact she doesn't espouse many traditional feminist points of view.
STEINEM: Well, we're free to call ourselves whatever we wish. But I think her calling herself a feminist has mostly to do with how many votes Hillary Clinton got in the presidential race. Because yes, you can be a feminist who doesn't agree with abortion, who would never have an abortion. But you can't be a feminist who says that other women can't and criminalizes abortion. 1 in 3 American women needs an abortion at some time in her life. To make that criminal and dangerous is not a feminist act and that is the position of Sarah Palin.

What is better?
Better speaker, better ideas or better platform?
Maybe Gloria Steinem is better
sarah palin needs to hang it up & quit making an even bigger fool of herself than she already has. thank god i did'nt vote republican in that election. she is an ambitious bitch with no sense. i would would have been afraid to take a cup of coffee from her, if her running mate had been elected president. while i don't agree with gloria's stand on abortion because of my religious beliefs, she is by far the better femminist,& has done far more for women's rights than sarah could ever hope to accomplish.
Thanks for the article.
Johan: reacquisition is a word actually: the act of acquiring or gaining possession. And while I sort of agree with what you say, and hope women would learn to stick together and stand up for one another until we're treated more fairly and with respect...at the same time, it is the true meaning of equality to look beyond gender at the qualities within. This includes pointing out when someone is a hateful, bigoted, idiotic waste of skin, such as Sarah Palin. She is a symbol of so much that is wrong in this world, and should be NO VOICE for today's intelligent, loving, ambitious woman. The fact that she has suckered so many people into believing her lies and false charm is truly scary to me, just the same as I feel about Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, George Dubya, etc. etc....... she's a joke and an imposter / traitor to the feminist cause.
The female youth today are not even thinking about rights and equality. It's all about material objects (like cellphones), gossip (celeb and local) and sex, sex, sex!
It saddens me that despite the great work done by women such as Gloria S., women are more objectified than ever before.
Anita Scott laid it on the line....Palin is a joke, but some times others don't see that.
Why is a mystery to me and other???
Sarah is an attractive female with a mouth that just doesn't know when to quit.
So, just let her talk, she's actually doing her opposition a favor, flapping her mouth, on, and on and on infinitum!
Thank you Sarah ;-)
Why is it that women always attack other women?
Why not attack men if you are being neglected.
Stand together and do something positive but do not attack other women just because you do not like what they are sayng or what they stand for!
Incidentally, there is no such word as reacquisition. Love you all girls, so don't fight amongst yourselves!

At the beginning of the ceremony, the Dalai Lama asked that a small table in front of his seat be removed. However, as officials were in the process of removing it, it collapsed, to a complete silence in the audience. The Dalai Lama broke the silence with loud laughter, which triggered more laughter and applauses from the crowd.
James: I can't get enough of the DL's smiling, laughing and relaxing demeanor. Every time I see his warm, cheery face I can't help but smile too and the same goes when I see or hear him laugh. His laugh is infectious and sincere like the unstifled belly laughs you hear from kids. They (like he) are usually unencumbered with feelings of low self-esteem or a compulsive neurosis over their laugh and body language. That said, at the same time he's that big brother who has seen a lot and traveled many places both in our physical world and within the dungeons of the mind. The older brother who gives you the exact advice needed without being condescending, mean or grumpy.
In fact I can't think of a time when I've seen or heard of the Dalai Lama being grumpy--have any of you? He seems like the kind of person who can give you criticism with a smile and a laugh to where you thank-him for it. He truly is a great master and I really like that he goes against a common view of a Buddhist master as being stern, cold and always intensely serious. I'm not anywhere near the understanding of the Dalai Lama or Thich Nhat Hanh but I'd say that laughter and enlightenment go hand in hand. It's certainly a great way to reduce stress and suffering and besides that; in the end (as Shinzen said recently)what's their to do but laugh at this silly world?
~Peace to all beings~

About Aid Watch
The Aid Watch blog is a project of New York University's Development Research Institute (DRI). This blog is principally written by William Easterly, author of "The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics" and "The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good," and Professor of Economics at NYU. It is co-written by Laura Freschi and by occasional guest bloggers. Our work is based on the idea that more aid will reach the poor the more people are watching aid.

The Haiti we don't see
Haiti is not always and all the time earthquakes, hurricanes, deforestation, misery, rape, corruption, kidnappings, poverty, garbage, violence, gangs, wasted aid, cholera, election fraud, dirty water, orphans and amputees.
These pictures, the result of an NGO-funded collaboration between a Canadian photojournalist and 22 Haitian teenagers living in Jacmel and Croix des Bouquets, are a beautiful reminder that Haiti is also babies with chickens, landscapes, going to school, solitude, hair-dos and cookouts. Via Linda Raftree, blogging at Wait…What?

Utah Housing Corporation is offering $35 million in mortgage funds at a low 5.72 percent interest rate to assist low- to moderate-income families at locations across the state to purchase homes.
In addition to the 30-year fixed rate mortgage monies, Utah Housing Corporation will provide financing for down payment and closing costs.
The UHC program is expected to save the typical lower income household in Utah as much as $17,000 in payments during the life of the loans, according to the state agency.
"Helping families in their pursuit of homeownership is the central objective of the Utah Housing Corporation," explained William Erickson, UHC president. "Whenever we are able to move a family from an apartment into a home, it frees up that affordable apartment unit for the next family. With the shortage of affordable housing in Utah, this process is crucial to make more housing available."
Due to assistance from UHC and other programs, nearly 73 percent of Utah households own homes compared to the national average of 68.4 percent, pointed out the corporation.
"Homeownership provides stability for families and for the community. It also provides the greatest opportunity for lower-income households to build equity and provide economic security for their future," said Erickson.
UHC has provided home-buying assistance for more than 50,000 lower income families in every area of the state.
The corporation is the largest provider of affordable housing assistance in Utah.
UHC loans are obtainable from many lenders in Utah.
Certain limitations apply to household incomes as well as the cost of homes that may be financed under the program.
In addition, certain locations in the state are designated by the federal government as targeted areas.
To promote home ownership in targeted areas, eligible purchasers are extended several additional advantages.
Utah Housing finances low-interest home loans for thousands of eligible Utahns across the state.
Since founded by the Utah Legislature in 1975 as an independent self-supporting public corporation, Utah Housing has provided financing for more than 77,000 single- and multi-family affordable housing units.
For additional information about Utah Housing, Carbon County residents may contact the corporation toll-free 1-800-301-6950 for a no-cost brochure.

Early-stage incubator launches at Harvard
If there had been an early-stage incubator at Harvard when Mark Zuckerberg was starting Facebook, the world's largest social-networking company might not be based in Silicon Valley today.
There was no such investment fund back in 2004, but today, there is. In an announcement this morning, Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) launched the Experiment Fund, a new early-stage seed fund that is being backed by New Enterprise Associates, one of the world's largest venture capital firms.

Mar 15, 2009 farming, sustainable agriculture
And because I know it will get lost in the bottom of my ridiculously long previous post and I want people to discuss it…
People want meat from animals that haven't been treated with antibiotics. Why? There's a big difference between treating a sick animal and feeding an animal antibiotics as a rule to prevent them from getting sick in the first place.
To paraphrase Claverach's, Sam Hilmer (who is in fact organic—though not legally because it's pricey): "People are so concerned with all this organic business–and whether their meat is organically fed—but you've never met an organic human."

Last Week at the Market – Fennel

Sorry for the late and brief run down this week but I didn't spend as much time at the markets last week as I usually do.
Maybe it's a tough call, but I personally think the highlight was fennel. Probably a lot more people will pick the increase in fruit with all the berries and sweet cherries arriving, but I'm more of a vegetable man and fennel is right up there with the Brussels Sprouts and cauliflower.
At Maplewood the fennel came by way of

Last Week at the Market – Tons of Stuff!!!
Jun 4, 2008 farmers' markets, Illinois, missouri, St. Louis
[flickr align="right" style="padding-left: 5px;"]photo:2550497790(small)[/flickr]
This week at Maplewood Farmers' Market I made it in time to be one of those people that swept the Our Garden strawberries out from everyone. As I approached the booth there were ten pints and by the time I left the booth there was one. Two were mine! They were rather small and a bit tart but still better than any others I'd had to this point.
A bunch of new lettuces cropped up this week from Centennial Farms including magenta, butter crunch, and Nevada summer crisp.

Claverach added turnips, spring onions and cucumbers.
Root Cellar also had arugula which I don't recall seeing last week. It was amazingly clean too. Generally Claverach takes the prize for cleanest vegetables which is a huge bonus when buying from them. They are outright obsessive about cleaning their lettuces especially which I'm sure goes a long way towards restaurants fighting over them.
Ken Muno (Goatsbeard) had his Camembert wheels which I can never remember what he calls after the fact. (Prairie Bloom maybe?)

Dinner: Tuesday, December 4, 2007

Alanna posted about glazed turnips the other day, and when I read her post, it occurred to me I still had a bunch of turnips buried deep within "MY FRIG, THE ROOT CELLAR" too. I'd bought them from Claverach Farms a couple months ago with no idea what I'd even do with them as I'd never actually cooked turnips before, but with my only recent memory eating them coming from Red, I felt they deserved a chance at glory on my dinner table.
Heading to the kitchen to dig them out I was concerned with how they would look roughly two months after purchasing them, and I was happy to see they appeared almost identical to when I'd tossed them in the fridge in the first place. It's amazing how long some fruits and vegetables will last if stored properly, and as I pulled the turnips from the crisper, I took the opportunity to take stock of my other late market purchases.
Walker Claridge's green onions from The Root Cellar were doing surprisingly well for being at least 6 weeks old as I'd washed them the minute I'd gotten them home and wrapped them in moist paper towels. I enjoyed using them all summer when he had them as they were a sort of two-fer: the green ends could be used as herbs in vinaigrettes, tacos, etc. and the bulby root ends were perfect for a light onion flavor in something like scrambled eggs; having almost a leek like flavor.
Celeriac from Berger Bluff Farms, which I'd swiped away from all my Slow Food friends by buying every single one on the last day of the Maplewood Farmers' Market, looked exactly as I'd expected: unchanged and ugly as the day I bought them; wrapped safely in their plastic bag.
Chioggia Beets from Claverach Farms were maybe a touch soft after at least 6 weeks, and one giant chioggia from The Root Cellar looked precisely how it did the day I bought it as I'd cut the beet greens off and used them the night I'd brought it home ensuring it's longevity.
With everything pulled out for inspection, it was then that I saw the several varieties of apples from Centennial Farms I'd completely forgotten about. A bit soft, they were definitely showing their age, and it was at then inspiration hit in the form of applesauce…applesauce on turnip-potato pancakes.

Dinner Triumphant!
Oct 27, 2007 farmers' markets, general food
I suppose because of my years cooking, I have a tendency to aim high when cooking dinner at home. While that in and of itself isn't a problem, what is a problem, is that I'm rusty. Rustiness, coupled with my being particularly critical, means that I'm more than a little unenthused with most of the food I make.
Take last Friday for instance. On call at work and having to respond within fifteen minutes, I was forced to stay around the house for most of the weekend. Having known this well in advance I decided to do it up big for dinner after spotting some celeriac earlier that week at the Berger Bluff Farms tent at the Maplewood Farmers' Market. I also still had the beautiful carrots I'd picked up in Kansas City at the Farmers Community Market at Brookside and not wanting them to go to waste, I knew they would make perfect sides to what Ellie and I had been craving all week: pot roast.
So as previously mentioned, at lunch last Friday I headed off for Whole Foods to pick up an American Grass Fed roast. But alas, it was one of the cuts that were no longer available. I instead picked up a larger rib eye for us to share.
That proved to be my downfall as I overcooked the beef a little in my frenzy to finish passing the celeriac puree through a sieve and get everything onto the plate hot. I was clearly trying to do too much at once, and I was doubly irritated because it had been such a fine cut of meat.

But thankfully, while my story does technically end there, it began with one of my greatest home-kitchen culinary triumphs — my appetizer.You see, my other reason for going to Whole Foods was because I'd thought they were going to have the Bell's Best Brown Ale. They however did not, and knowing The Wine & Cheese Place did, I knew I'd be making the quick trip around the corner to yield that delicious brew. It was then that I also remembered that they now have salumi from Mario Batali's father's shop in Seattle, and that I could finally buy some of that as well.When I did work in kitchens, I was always what I referred to as a "flavor wheel cook." While there are some chefs that truly can think outside the box and create flavors that are new and challenging, I didn't possess that sort of raw talent. Just as I make up for my lack of natural athletic ability in my running now with sheer mileage, I made up for my lack of talent in the kitchen by literally reading the hundreds of cookbooks I have. When you do this, you start to see patterns. There are foods that clearly go together, and a spin of the flavor wheel of pork for instance, will yield things like rosemary, sage, thyme, cranberries, apples, honey, mustard, onions, juniper berries, and walnuts.
With that knowledge in hand, while you won't be breaking new ground, it is possible to make phenomenally good food rooted in solid techniques and classic flavor combinations.
So before leaving Whole Foods I grabbed a 12 month aged manchego because the flavor wheel of most any cheese includes cured meats. Because of the strong flavors Salumi's salumi has, I gave the next spin to the cheese. Manchego, a Spanish cheese, would go with things like sausage, garlic, mustard, sherry vinegar, onions, thyme and olives. It was at this point that the hand of brilliance reached out and touched me.
Manchego is a sheep's milk cheese with a similar texture and fat content to Pecorino — I could make the budino substituting manchego for the pecorino. With an additional helping of good fortune, The Wine & Cheese place had Salumi's mole salami. With a nice touch of heat, a dash of cinnamon, and the richness from the added chocolate, it would go perfect with my plan.
Not to pat myself on the back, but it really did turn out beautifully, and we devoured every bit. The richness of the budino cut beautifully through the heat of the salami and the slight addition of some fresh lemon juice in my vinaigrette gave the whole thing a zippy freshness that really worked, and for a change, I was completely pleased with something I'd made.

Three Nevadans remain hospitalized from Utah I-15 rollover
A 4-year-old girl remained in critical condition Wednesday, while the driver and another child were listed as serious two days after the SUV they were in crashed on Interstate 15 in southern Utah's Beaver County.
Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Todd Johnson said the girl, Alexa Clayton, of Las Vegas, Nev., remained critical at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City. She suffered neck injuries in the accident, which occurred Monday afternoon when the Ford Explorer she and four others were riding in blew a tire and rolled on southbound I-15 near mile post 99, according to the UHP.
The driver, Patrick A. Clayton, 31, of Las Vegas, was in serious condition Wednesday at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray. His 6-year-old son, Patrick, was listed as serious at Primary Children's Medical Center.
Passengers Eva Enriquez Plascen, 26, and Jorge Gallardo Enriquez, 9, both of Las Vegas, had been released from local hospitals by Wednesday, Johnson said.
UHP also said it had learned that the 4-year-old girl likely owed her life to off-duty Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Clifford Fontaine. He came upon the accident scene immediately after the crash and found the girl not breathing. Fontaine administered CPR and got the girl breathing again, Johnson said.
UHP says speed, in addition to the failed tire, was believed to be a factor in the crash.
The two younger children the only occupants of the SUV who were not wearing seat belts were ejected from the vehicle when it rolled, the UHP reported.

The Justice Department just released [pdf] a memo detailing its evidence that Awlaki was actively planning terrorist attacks against the United States as part of the trial of underpants bomber Umar Abdulmutallab. Clint Watts thinks the memo vindicates the decision to kill Awlaki:
Many [claimed] that Awlaki was a mostly innocent preacher – peripheral to AQAP's attacks. However, Abdulmutallab's confession [in the memo] clearly ends the debate on Awlaki's role. While I agree with some of the arguments for increased transparency, improved planning and limited use of drone operations only in the presence of clear intelligence, I have no delusions that the U.S. can wait indefinitely to apprehend terrorists like Awlaki while they continue to plan repeated attacks to kill Americans.
Me too. But more transparency is vital and I'm glad we got some more. Adam Serwer is more cautious:
Since al-Awlaki is dead and the government remains tight-lipped both about the legal justification for targeting him and the evidence regarding his role in Al Qaeda, it's impossible to objectively evaluate how reliable this information actually is.
Marcy Wheeler picks out some of the more interesting details from the memo.
