HemisFair Arena was where Spurs first scored with S.A. fans
Al Sturchio grew wistful as he stood at Market and Bowie streets, a half-court shot away from the site of the Spurs' first home.
"We had so much fun over there," Sturchio, 84, said in 2013 as he gazed south toward the Tower of the Americas. "It was a very special time in my life. Oh, boy, was it sad to see it torn down."
That's a sentiment thousands of San Antonians likely share with the trumpet-playing band leader.
Demolished in 1995, HemisFair Arena once was the city's main venue for big-scale entertainment, including the Spurs' first 20 seasons.
It's the 50th anniversary of the opening of what the club proudly called "The Noisiest Arena in the NBA."
The Spurs grew up at the city-owned building, which on game nights in the 1970s oozed the free-wheeling attitude San Antonio embraced in those days.
"I don't know how to phrase it, but San Antonio wasn't a city then," said Denver Nuggets coach George Karl, an original Spur.
"It was a town, a big town, and the Arena got to be like a party. It was the thing to do. It was a celebration of San Antonio nightlife at a basketball game."
B.J. "Red" McCombs' voice took on a plaintive tone when discussing his old haunt.
"I've been involved in a lot of things that were significant for San Antonio," the local billionaire said. "But when people ask me what was the most important, the answer is easy — the Spurs. It put us on another level, and it wouldn't have happened without HemisFair Arena.
"Now it's gone, and there's nothing left to remind you of it. It's sad. You'd never know the place was there."
With the Spurs two years into their nine-year stint at the Alamodome, the city razed the arena to expand the Convention Center.
All that's left now are memories, including: raucous nickel beer nights; tobacco smoke wafting through the rafters where Air Force trainees sat; prime seats priced as low as $7; Sturchio's band, "The Sound of the Spurs," playing "San Antonio Rose" and other regional favorites; and a taped version of the "Cotton-Eye Joe" playing during timeouts.
The Arena also marked the golden age of the Baseline Bums, who tormented foes and refs with profanity-laced chants and cruel pranks.
Strategically seated above the tunnel to the visitor's locker room, the Bums were fronted by "Big" George Valle, who passionately waved the Texas flag.
Adding to the down-home atmosphere was wry public address announcer Pat Tallman, the Bums' partner in crime when it came to jabbing the refs.
"It was just such an uplifting, happy place," said Doug Moe, a Spurs coach in the 1970s whose unpretentious style made him a fan favorite. "Everybody was friendly."
And loud.
"We raised some hell and enjoyed it," said fan George Sefcik, 78 in 2013.
The round, domed, 10,070-seat Arena was built for San Antonio's World Fair —HemisFair '68.
It was a feel-good moment amidst one of the most turbulent years in U.S. history, which included the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4.
"Nobody envisioned the Arena for basketball because nobody here watched basketball in those days," McCombs said.
That changed in 1973 when a group of about 30 local investors led by McCombs and the late Angelo Drossos paid $200,000 up front to lease the cash-strapped Dallas Chaparrals of the wild and wooly American Basketball Association.
Later that season, the group bought the newly named San Antonio Spurs outright for an additional $600,000 for the sole purpose of putting the city on the national sports map.
"We didn't have a bad reputation nationally, we had a zero reputation," McCombs said.
The Spurs helped change that, and it all began at the arena, which housed the team until it moved to the Alamodome in 1993.
"San Antonio learned to love the game of basketball there," McCombs said. "We all became experts even though we didn't know diddly about the sport."
'Whole city showed up'
Attendance was sparse at the start. A solid 5,879 witnessed the Spurs' first ABA game, a 121-106 loss to the San Diego Conquistadors on Oct. 10, 1973, but a game a month later drew just 1,765.
But fans began to flock to the Arena after Bob Bass replaced defensive-minded Tom Nissalke as coach midway through the 1974-75 season and installed an up-tempo offense for high-scoring guards George Gervin and James Silas.
"The great thing was the whole city showed up — West Side, North Side, East Side, South Side — with one common goal: kill the opponent," McCombs said.
Aesthetically, the building was mundane.
"It was a bandbox," said Wayne Witt, the Spurs' former director of public relations, "but one tough place to play."
The Spurs were 572-251 in the regular season while at the Arena and had only one season with a sub-.500 record on their home court.
"Everybody wanted to claim they had the noisiest arena, but this one really was," Witt said. "It was all steel and concrete. There was nothing to absorb the sound. It just rattled around in there."
The Bums alone made plenty of noise, keeping beer vendors busy in the process.
"Those people don't stop throwing up until about 1 o'clock in the afternoon," Tallman, who died in 1990, told Sports Illustrated in 1982.
"The Baseline Bums gave everybody the business," former ABA star Ron Boone said. "If you were a jerk, they were all over you."
The Bums worked closely with Sturchio to fire up the Spurs and intimidate everyone else.
"We'd signal to Al with our hands to play songs for the refs like 'Three Blind Mice,'" Valle said. "When I wanted to wave the (Texas) flag to get the crowd going, I'd motion to him and he'd strike up 'The Yellow Rose of Texas.'"
When the team needed a boost, Sturchio played "Charge!"
"Al got everybody riled up with that trumpet," Gervin said.
Between the third and fourth periods, the band serenaded the crowd with the Spanish ballad "Volver" as a spotlight fell on the Bum's "Dancing Harry" while he waltzed with an imaginary partner.
"Al and the band played real San Antonio music, music you wouldn't hear anywhere else," Bass said.
Said Sturchio: "It was an atmosphere of joy." And one that screamed South Texas.
"That was on purpose," Witt said. "We wanted that identity. That was all part of the aura, of opponents saying, 'Oh, geez, we got to go to San Antonio and play in that place, where all they do is play that loud Mexican music.'"
'Drink that Lone Star'
The Lone Star vibe was omnipresent at the 1975 ABA All-Star Game.
Willie Nelson performed and most valuable player Freddie Lewis from the Spirits of St. Louis won a quarter horse named Tuff Julie, a hand-stitched saddle and a Cowboy hat.
Lewis kept the saddle and hat, which he sat atop his 6-inch Afro, but wouldn't take the horse. He actually owned horses he kept in Arizona but decided not to take Tuff Julie because he would have to pay the transportation fees. Instead, he received her auction price of $1,950.
The most bizarre Arena moment occurred when "Dancing Harry" got married at center court during halftime of a game in the 1970s while sporting a velvet tux, shades and a fedora.
"People were hootin', hollerin' and shoutin', 'Don't do it, Harry, don't do it,'" Witt said.
The reception was at Lone Star Pavilion in HemisFair Park, a postgame gathering place for coaches, players, statisticians, media, fans and even referees.
"We'd drink that Lone Star and have a nice time," Gervin said.
With the income gap between players and fans much smaller then, they frequently mingled. Pecan Valley Golf Course and the Hill Country were among the gathering spots.
"Going to the Hill Country and having beers and barbecue was almost a weekly occurrence," Karl said.
Fans also have fond memories.
"Players didn't act like they were above you then," said Sefcik, a former police detective. "They'd drink beer with you like anyone else."
'I saw blood ... '
The Arena wasn't always festive. There were plenty of ugly fights, including some involving fans.
One of the most memorable occurred in 1980 and involved Valle, fellow Bum Johnny Merla and Celtics greats Larry Bird and Dave Cowens.
After the Spurs rallied to beat Boston, the Bums taunted the Celtics as chokers as they walked to their bus.
"Cowens told me, 'You big, fat hog, what makes you so great?'" Valle said. "I told him, 'Makin' fun of you.' Then Cowens spit at Johnny after Johnny called him a choker. When Johnny spit back, Bird came up and hit Johnny up side the head with his gym bag."
Merla filed a damages suit, but jurors ruled the Celtics acted in self defense.
"Johnny was just trying to get money," Valle said with a laugh.
The Bums-Celtics dust-up made national headlines, but the biggest brawl occurred during Game 4 of a best-of-seven playoff series between the Spurs and the Nets in 1976, the ABA's final year.
Fists flew in the first half when the Nets' Brian Taylor accused Karl of flopping and elbowed the feisty guard in the chin.
"I saw blood and said, 'Hell, I'm gonna hit him,'" Karl said. "After that it was crazy."
The 17-minute melee that ensued didn't stop until police intervened. Afterward, bloody mouths abounded among the Spurs, who lost the game and then the series in seven games.
"It wasn't a hold-'em-and-dance kind of thing," Witt said of what became known as the Easter Day Massacre.
With his baritone voice and signature call after timeouts of "Bring 'em back," Tallman added to the volatility.
"There's never been a PA guy as good as Pat, and I've been to events all over the world," McCombs said. "He had great timing, knew where the tender spots were and just how far he could go with the refs."
'Bermuda Triangle'
The Spurs had high-scoring, entertaining teams during much of their Arena run. In the 1970s, Gervin, Silas and Larry Kenon thrilled.
Mark Olberding and other big men banged away as the Bruise Brothers in the 1980s. In the 1990s, David Robinson lifted a sagging franchise.
On three occasions after the NBA-ABA merger in 1976, the Spurs appeared in the conference finals.
"We always had teams right on the edge of being a champion," McCombs said.
In 1977, the Arena's roof was raised 33 feet to boost seating to 16,057.
Larger crowds meant more noise, but the building lost some of its Wild West feel and some seats became obstructed by pillars.
The Spurs lost their final game at the Arena when Phoenix's Charles Barkley hit a jumper in the final seconds to close out a 1993 playoff series. As the years passed at the dome and later the AT&T Center, the atmosphere at games became more staid, reflecting the NBA's emphasis on uniformity.
A much more polite version of the Bums remains — and they're much farther away from the baseline these days — but "The Sound of the Spurs" was turned off after the team left the arena.
"People still say to me, 'Whatever happened to the band? We really enjoyed it,'" said Sturchio in 2013, who explained the Spurs bumped the band from the dome for logistical reasons.
The Spurs have won five NBA titles since 1999, but none of it would have been possible without the arena. Yet there's nothing at the Convention Center to commemorate it.
"People don't believe you when you tell them there was an arena there," Bass said. "It's like the Bermuda Triangle — it just vanished."

Disney apes
Disney apes Walt Disney monkeyed around quite a bit in the 1960s with several simian-themed films. Cheeta plays Charlie the Chimp in 1962s outer space comedy Moon Pilot as the first ape to orbit the moon. Theres some simian business introduced in the 1964 Tommy Kirk-Annette Funicello comedy The Misadventures of Merlin Jones, but the antics of a chimp named Stanley play a significant part in the 1965 sequel, The Monkeys Uncle. Two years later, Disney released the comedy Monkeys, Go Home! with Dean Jones, Maurice Chevalier and Yvette Mimeux about a young American (played by Jones) who trains monkeys to pick olives at the French olive farm he has inherited from his late uncle. Needless to say, this isnt one of Disneys masterpieces. And later that year, the studio released the animated The Jungle Book, which features the voice of the great Louis Prima as the ultimate swinger, an orangutan named King Louie, who was not in the original Rudyard Kipling novel.

Tea crushes- do you get them?
Every once in a while, I stumble upon a tea that talks, walks and looks great… it seduces me, convinces me to do things I would never normally do, and leaves me staring dreamily at the wall like a moony teenager.
Then I flirt with my tea crush the next day, and well… the it's gone "cold" on me! The fun, charming, lovable traits I found in it before are simply gone, or less inviting at the very least and I feel used after having been duped into proudly carrying around an average cuppa steaming liquid, even making my poor peers suffer through a sampling.
Finally, when I realize my folly, there's a smug bag of tea roosting happily in my cupboard only it has no idea it's fate is to remain there for all of time, or until I take pity and release it to some other unsuspecting tea victim. Beware! Your cupboard space is at stake here. and be careful about teaware, I hear they're even more ruthless.
So, fellow tea "lovers", am I the only one to have been taken for a steep under false promises of caffeinated tastebud tingles and left with regrets??
Let's just say I am not a stranger to buyer's remorse in my tea journey. Usually, though, there is a drinker for every tea, so I rehome it. Or sometimes I mix it into something I will drink. I have even (gasp!) thrown some out on occasion. I know you are supposed to get wiser as time goes on, but I have not really found that to be the case. The regretted tea purchases are just fewer, but they might cost more, so it evens out in a bad way.
Yeah I try to foster them out as well… but there are some that don't deserve even that!
One of the many reasons I've stayed away from online purchases- those scare me, a whole whack of tea I know nothing about! unless it's already been reviewed here of course :)
I've had my share of relationships, some end mutually, some are outgrown, but I have had my share of relationships in which I was burned. Perhaps I can't be trusted to pick a match for myself but often times I don't see it coming. I mean we hit it off, have some laughs, enjoy each others company and then its like BAM! Done. No warning just your cut off and I never want to see you again.
Sadly this has happened recently, I'm about to share a terrible tale of woe, I warn you if you are to continue reading prepare to have your heart strings pulled out of their sockets and tears will probably ensue, if you have a heart. Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of … I can't believe you really thought I was going to go all Gilligan's Island on you.
About a year or so ago I met a beautiful young lady, her name was Silver Needle. Absolutely gorgeous, she always smelled delightful, incredible complexion, smooth as silk texture and she tasted lik … will a gentleman shall not delve into such graphic details. But I was in love, from the first moment I laid eyes on her I knew that she was the one, where had she been all my life. All my friends warned me, they said no, she's a white tea, wild, unpredictable, pleasure seeking and unreliable. it was too late, I didn't care, I was in love with the wild vixen of the tea world.
We had a great run, a lot of fun, it was magical, then something happened, not sure what, but things cooled off between us. I don't think either of us caught it at first but we just started to drift, then I began to see that things were in trouble and something had to be done if we were to save our relationship. So I quickly ran out and bought a couple ounces a month ago, was so excited, I figured this was the rejuvenation we needed, it would be young innocent love all over again.
I don't blame her, I should have seen the signs coming, should have done .. something. But it was too late, my feeble attempts were meet with sour rejection. She had moved on, left me for better taste buds, I was devastated, didn't know what to do, how to move on or if I could ever love again. My heart had been seared, could it ever be healed and love again.
I still don't know, I have however meet someone, I'm taking it very slow and we're keeping it quite for the time being as to prevent rushing into anything. I will say that she is wonderful, delicate, patient and just what this shattered heart needed if he was ever going to pick up all the pieces.
I don't know whether I need to hug you for this or if I just need to fawn over the bittersweet (sweet for me) tale of rejection.
Tha t was….(sniffle, sniffle)…so very sad…(sob sob)…..
You are gifted with words, and deserve a good, loyal tea
A truly wonderful reply, and so true to life! Maybe Jasmine will deign to comfort you next.
ahhh what is life if not for a little heartbreak?? Seattle Tea Snob, you made my day :)
I get suckered in by the smell of some teas that sadly DO NOT taste as amazing when made. There have been a few of these thankfully and all from one store (bet you can guess). But I do try to rehome the tea I find I don't like because I really hate throwing it away.
I try to send them out to friends as well… but if it's a truly bad tea, well I just don't know what to do with it! I'd feel too guilty inflicting that on some poor tea lover
True, but sometimes one tea lover's trash is another's treasure.
yup, that's what I keep telling myself! funny, there are some teas that people think I am so strange for liking, and others I could never imagine willingly consuming, let alone enjoying!
I dive into things so very quickly and obsessively. But I never have regrets. The fiery passion will settle down but is never lost. At least not in memory.
amen to that! I can't tell you how many times I've done the same.
I'm going through this right now. I got a 4oz bag of the Darjeeling that got me back into tea and going down the endless tunnel of loose leaf options. I loved it, it was wonderful, so very good. We met and I fell for it so hard!
Now I make a cup and can barely drink it. It's just awful to me and I still have almost all the 4oz left. I'll likely re-home it now.
ahhh funny how that works! I hope you find it a good home :)
—maybe it will find a palate to tantalize…
Milk Oolong is my first tea crush.
was one of mine to!!!
@Indigobloom- I have to say that I loved reading this topic. I love the way you started it… I have to agree that I feel like if tea were a human, he/she would be a huge flirt that would drive me nuts… Surely would continuously have me falling in love and then disgruntled and madly in love again… I can just imagine…
Yeah… I am happy that tea is a drink, not a beautiful human…
lol thanks Ninavampi, I was pretty frustrated at the time!
and yes, if tea were human, I'd be in BIG trouble :P
This is a great topic, I think most tea drinkers have had "love at first click" regrets at least once! Usually with online stores, when the name just sounds too good to be true. I got a tea crush on Adagio's White Cucumber—I read the reviews, I knew it wouldn't be what I wanted, but the name combined with the description on their site… it was love. Or just tea lust, because when I actually drank it… bleurgh. Now I have 1.5 ounces sitting in my cupboard and I am contemplating what to do with them. There's got to be some way to make the love come back!
Has happened to me on several occasions! That first cup is pure joy – excitement – that "where have you been all my life" feeling. Then next time I find that there is absolutely NO magic! I usually blame myself – must have steeped too long, too short, too much leaf, not enough leaf, etc.
It's not too old, It's the same batch from the same bag!
Was it my mood at the time? Was I eating something that helped bring out different flavors? Was something else going on in my life that made everything just seem amazing (doubtful haha). Maybe I was just excited at a totally new flavor or note. Humm no I have had other teas with the same make up before. So what IS it that causes this phenomena?
I have no answer but I know it has happened to me and its never fun.
It happens. But sometimes you find yourself, oddly, in the mood for that tea later on :) I used to be big on Japanese green tea, senchas and gyokuros in particular. For whatever reason, I don't really love them like I used to. Just never in the mood for the sea-breeze-ness quality anymore. I do go back to them, occasionally, but it's not the same.
And you're totally right about teaware eating up space. :P I've definitely paid some tuition while learning what constitutes a good yixing. But they're so pretty, and irresistible! And so are gaiwans! But I'm…completely out of space!
oh don't get me started on the space issue. Its become an even bigger issue since I started this thread! lol
and now with Teaopia wares going on sale while they transition to Teavana, oh boy am I in trouble! ha!

Hacking by Numbers:
Bootcamp Edition
SensePost Mar 12-13
Ends January 10
Ends Feb 28
Ends March 15
For 2013, we've incorporated a number of web application layer attacks and approaches into Bootcamp. From attacking CMS systems via plugins, to thoroughly understanding SQL injection flaws and exploits methods. Numerous infrastructure-layer attacks have been updated to mirror what real attackers are currently exploiting.Topics include:
- A quick review of key concepts and technologies
- A review of Internet Reconnaissance
- A review of fingerprint - portscanning, OS and service identification
- Vulnerability Discovery
- Exploiting Known Vulnerabilities
- Finding and Exploiting Vulnerabilities in Web Applications
- Attacking Content Management Systems via commonly installed plugins
- Understanding and exploiting SQL databases via a browser
- Real-world exercises and capture-the-flag
No hacking experience is required for this course, but a solid technical grounding is an absolute must. Students are expected to be versed in basic programming or scripting, networking and Internet technologies, nix and Windows operating systems, basic SQL and database technologies.
'Bootcamp' is SensePost's 'introduction to hacking' course. It is strongly method based and emphasizes structure, approach and thinking over tools and tricks. The course is popular with beginners, who gain their first view into the world of hacking, and experts, who appreciate the sound, structured approach.
Cadet and Bootcamp Edition can be taken back-to-back. There is a small amount of overlap between the courses but they have been carefully designed to provide a congruent learning experience.
Students who have mastered the Bootcamp Edition will be perfectly prepared to move on the 'BlackOps' Edition to sharpen their skills in real hacking scenarios.
Who should attend
Information security officers, system and network administrators, security consultants, government agencies and other nice people will all benefit from the valuable insights provided by this class.
What to bring
Students should have BackTrack5 R3 running on their laptops before arriving in class. It is up to the students how they wish to accomplish this, but we would suggest running the 'Gnome 32bit VMWare' image. On Windows or Linux systems this can be run via VMPlayer, and from OSX via VMWare Fusion. Laptops should have Ethernet, WiFi, at least 4GB RAM, and 15GB free disk space.
Course Length
Two days. All course materials, lunch and two coffee breaks will be provided. A Certificate of Completion will be offered.
All of SensePost's Hacking By Numbers trainers are working penetration testers or developers. What we perform for our clients often makes it into our HBN courses as modules. We love teaching and have been doing so for Blackhat for over a decade now.
Glenn Wilkinson is SensePost's resident Zimbabwean, functioning mostly as a lead security analyst. He is active in the SensePost research labs, having had his work presented at BlackHat Vegas, UnCon, and ITWeb ZA. As a Rhodes scholar he holds two Masters degrees from the University of Oxford.
Sara Perez Merino is SensePost's resident Spaniard, functioning mostly as a lead security analyst. Coming from a consultant background her areas of expertise are in infrastructure and web application assessments but also has an interest in most things related to mobile research and forensics.

My question is as this a two parter. What would happened of I were to drain my wort into my fermenter (plastic bucket) without cooling it first and let it cool in the bucket then pitch the next day?Could I store wort in my fermentor that is cooled (plate chiller used) while I am waiting for my starter to finish out. I am asking bc I plan on buying all my stuff in one day and I won't have the forethought to buy yeast a couple of days before hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wouldn't no-chill result in a horrendous DMS problem? Or is that overcome some other way?
SS kettles chill down faster than plastic buckets, but I'm not sure if the time difference is practically significant.
No chill method is fine. Especially if it is getting late and I just want to go to bed--I'll just put the 5.5 gallon SS BK (with lid on it) in the beer fridge (True GDM-12F) and let it chill down to pitching temps overnight.The risk of contamination is there if your process isn't completely sanitary.Do not seal up the fermentor and attach a blow of tube to a vessel containing water or sanitizer unless you want to suck it up into the fermentor as the wort cools and the headspace volume (gas) significantly contracts thereby creating suction on the blow off tube.
Yes, there's some chill haze, but I consider that to be cosmetic and a side-effect of not yet owning a good chiller.
Quote from: anje on April 20, 2012, 05:46:26 PMYes, there's some chill haze, but I consider that to be cosmetic and a side-effect of not yet owning a good chiller.If you're doing partial boils there really isn't much reason to own a chiller. Just freeze the top-off water in advance and it will come down to pitching temp in a few minutes.

With the season over, Davidson was freed up to attend Georgia's junior day last Saturday, and he went. "It was nice down there," Davidson said. "The coaching staff was pretty cool, I liked them. They have nice facilities." Davidson will visit North Carolina this Saturday and will go to Clemson's next junior day which has been moved from March 2nd to the 9th. He also plans to visit Auburn which offered Tuesday, and he said he probably will get to USC's second junior day. He was at USC's first junior day earlier this month. Davidson continues to favor USC with North Carolina, Georgia, Notre Dame and Ohio State bunched together behind the Gamecocks. He talked with the Gamecocks earlier in the week. Davidson said North Carolina is recruiting him the hardest after USC. He has no timetable for a decision.

Coq au vin
Total time: 1 1/2 hours
Servings: 6 to 8
3/4 cup diced bacon
4 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
2 sliced onions (halved lengthwise and thinly sliced lengthwise)
3/4 teaspoon thyme
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup canned, chopped tomatoes
2 cups red wine, divided
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
1 tablespoon oil
5 tablespoons butter, divided
24 pearl onions, peeled
1 pound mushrooms, quartered
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1. Heat the pressure cooker insert and add the bacon. Brown the bacon until crisp, stirring frequently. Strain the bacon, leaving the fat in the insert.
2. Pat the chicken dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken to the insert and brown the pieces on both sides in the bacon fat, several minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a plate or baking sheet, leaving the fat in the pan.
3. Add the onions and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly caramelized. Stir in the garlic and bay leaf. Stir in the tomatoes, then 1 1/2 cups wine, scraping any flavoring from the bottom of the pan. Stir in 1 cup of the broth.
4. Place the chicken on top of the onions. Seal the pressure cooker and set the timer to cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
5. While the chicken is cooking, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Stir in the oil, then add 2 tablespoons butter to melt. Add the pearl onions and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly caramelized. Stir in the mushrooms and continue to cook until golden. Season with one-half teaspoon salt and one-fourth teaspoon pepper. Off heat, add the remaining wine and broth. Cook until the liquid is reduced by two-thirds, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes.
6. Remove the chicken from the pressure cooker and plate; leaving the sauce in the cooker. The dish can be made up to this point and chilled up to a day ahead; rewarm the chicken and sauce before proceeding with the recipe.
7. In a small bowl, stir the flour with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter to form a paste. Heat the remaining sauce until it comes to a simmer. Whisk in bits of the paste to the sauce until it thickens (you may not use all of the paste). Stir the pearl onions and mushrooms and any liquid in with the sauce. Taste, adjust seasoning if desired. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the mushrooms and onions around the chicken on the platter, and drizzle over the sauce. Crumble the bacon over the chicken, and sprinkle over the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Etosha National Park, Namibia — I'm sitting in a truck in Etosha National Park, dart rifle in hand, watching a herd of zebra when 9-year-old Olivia, already a keen observer of nature, pipes up. "Is that a melanistic zebra over there?" A melanistic zebra is one whose stripes haven't developed correctly. It's not fully black like most melanistic animals you might think of. It looks more like the stripes arose mid-body and were trying to migrate out to the head and feet, but got stuck.
Melanistic zebra are not extremely common, and may not survive long, but each trip I find a couple more to sample. I quickly darted this one, hopped out of my vehicle (after peering around for lion, elephants and other potential dangers) and walked out to pick up the dart. The dart was fitted with a needle to take a small skin sample from the zebra, which had already returned to grazing. Melanistic zebra are one potential key to the question of how the zebra got its stripes, a question I am studying from two angles – the how and the why.
The question of how the zebra got its stripes really grabs my interest because stripes make the zebra seem so conspicuous. Zebra are one of the lion's favorite prey so you might expect them to be less conspicuous to avoid predation.
Do Stripes Confuse Lions?
There are many ideas floating around about what the advantage of striping might be, but none are proven yet in spite of all the just-so stories you may have heard. Stripes might actually help prevent predation by confusing the lion, creating a blur of stripes in a herd running this way and that, or by making it hard to tell where one zebra stops and the other begins. They might even make the zebra less conspicuous in brush or at dawn and dusk, prime lion hunting times. Another tantalizing idea is that they help zebra avoid being bitten by tsetse flies and thus avoid sleeping sickness!
What is interesting, and what is the main focus of my research, is that even among zebra with normally developed stripes, not all are as stripy as others. In eastern Africa they are fully striped, head to toe, while in southern Africa they are less stripy, often with no stripes at all on their legs. I am using this variation to test ideas about why the zebra is striped by correlating variation in striping with climatic and habitat variation. These correlations can provide clues about why zebras are (or aren't) striped, giving us leads that we can follow up on with more direct tests. I'm also using this variation to discover the gene or genes that cause and control striping. The genes themselves can also tell us something about whether striping is adaptive, as selection leaves its mark on the genome.
My next trip is to Uganda to sample some very stripy zebra. Ultimately, I plan to sample from six populations for the genetic work and am collecting photos from all over Africa (mine, those of friends, from people on Flickr etc.) to do the environmental correlations.
So why are zebra striped? It's still an open question. For every hypothesis out there you can come up with good reasons it could be the answer and good reasons why it's not! Maybe it's something no one has thought of yet, maybe it's a combination of things, or maybe it's historical. With all the new tools at our disposal these days, I think we're getting close to the time when we'll have an answer.
Zebra stripes are among the most striking mammalian coat patterns. How these dramatic patterns are produced remains mysterious, as does their adaptive value. Brenda Larison of the University of California at Los Angeles received a grant from the National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration to investigate the genetic basis and adaptive significance of stripe pattern variation in plains zebra (Equus burchelli). The study represents a unique opportunity to gain new insights about the evolution of zebra stripes. You can also help Brenda fund her field work by making a donation on her site.

This is a group of people who like playing board games. We have a large variety of interests and types of games so you'll probably find someone who likes the same game(s) as you do. All ages are welcome.
At the public meetups during the week, we strongly encourage people to play inclusive games and ones that aren't too involved so that anyone can play. A good rule of thumb is that the game time should be less than an hour. If you want to play a more involved game, go ahead and make an event or add a comment to an existing one and see if anyone else wants to play too.
A group is only as good as its members make it so if you have ideas, share them with others. Make an event, send a message to the mailing list, post on the discussion board, go to an event and meet people.

Decorating the inside of your handmade card is just as much fun as creating the outside! We love to coordinate the inside of our cards with the outside, adding color and style and giving the card that finishing touch.
Ideally, there should be continuity between the front and inside of the card design—whether that's by color, image, patterned paper or font style. You can also continue the theme by having the first part of the card greeting split between the front and the inside. For example, the outside might say "Wishing you..." while the inside says, "...a beautiful birthday!". The card inside is generally not decorated as much as the front, but will have some of the same elements.
To decorate the inside of your card quickly and easily, you can simply cover the inside with a paper that coordinates with the outside. (Leftover paper strips are great for this!) You can line one or both of the inside panels of your card—but be careful not to glue the paper over the fold line in the card center, which can cause the paper to buckle and shift.
Sign your card and write your message on a piece of solid paper, then glue that on the inside—especially if the paper you have inside is patterned or a dark color. (This is a great way to prevent any errors in writing, spacing or spelling your message...if you goof, you haven't ruined the card!)
You can also add coordinating embellishments on the card inside, but remember that you'll want to keep them relatively flat so the card can close without making an impression on the front.

SSPF Selects 2013-14 Immigration Postdoctoral Fellows
The Penn Social Science and Policy Forum has selected two postdoctoral fellows for the 2013-14 theme on immigration and citizenship.
Laurencio Sanguino received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago in December 2012. His dissertation, "The Origins of Migration between Mexico and the United States, 1905-1945," examines the transformation of migration between Mexico and the United States, describing how labor recruitment, trafficking, and enforcement practices changed between 1905 and 1945. His next project will chart how Zamora, Michoacán, was transformed into one of the most important migrant-sending communities in Mexico between 1885 and 1965.
James Walsh received his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California Santa Barbara in September 2011. He is currently working on a book-length project based on his dissertation, "Governing the Divide: Political Institutions and Immigration Control in the United States, Canada, and Australia," which provides a comparative historical study of the significance of institutional arrangements and state structure in conditioning policy decisions and outcomes. His broader research agenda is focused on interrogating the relationship between globalization, immigration, and the nation-state.

Bruins tally another win against Senatorsby Matt Kalman
BOSTON – There's been much speculation that newly acquired Jaromir Jagr might push either Milan Lucic or Nathan Horton off David Krejci's wing in the Boston Bruins' lineup.
When the Bruins needed it most Tuesday night, Krejci and his linemates came through and showed what they could do if they're kept together going forward this season. Horton scored on a rebound of a Lucic shot at 10:21 of the third period for the go-ahead goal in a 3-2 win against the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden.
Krejci also assisted on the goal, which earned the Bruins a second straight win. Earlier in the day, they acquired Jagr from the Dallas Stars in a trade. But Krejci's line has now combined for six goals and eight assists in its last four games and the Bruins might want to consider keeping the trio that's been a staple for three seasons intact.
"I think the main thing for the three of us, I think we kind of got our confidence back and it's more of a positive frame of mind," Lucic said. "When things weren't going so well, we were kind of getting down on ourselves and down on each other, where it was a lot of negativity between the three of us. We love playing on a line with each other and we know what we're capable of when we're at our best. We definitely want to contribute, we want to be a big part of this team and it's slowly getting to where our game needs to be and where we want it to be."
Horton, who has goals in four straight games, also scored the game-winner on an assist by Krejci on Sunday night in Buffalo. The Bruins improved to 4-0-0 against Ottawa this season with each win coming by one goal. Boston leads the Senators, who were starting a seven-game road trip, by six points for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Making a rare second straight start, Anton Khudobin made a career-high 45 saves for Boston. Robin Lehner made 47 saves for Ottawa in a game that saw five goals scored on 97 shots.
"He's a battler, I think we all saw that. He's been working hard all year," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "When he's given the opportunity ... he's been pretty good. He's made a great combination with Tuukka [Rask], as far as this kind of schedule with what you've got to do with your goaltenders."
Boston's continuing domination -- the Bruins have won 13 of the last 14 meetings -- and the Bruins' ability to win one-goal games is frustrating the Senators.
"It [stinks] a little bit because I think we are right there but just that extra five percent that's missing," Lehner said. "You can't have a down period against this team, they take advantage of it. Today they scored two first-period goals, and they played very good. I think we came back and played better in the second and third. We have to play 60 minutes and unfortunately it wasn't enough today."
Ottawa tied the game in an unusual way early in the third period. After a scramble in front, the puck found its way out to Andre Benoit at the left point. The Senators defenseman fired a slap shot that deflected to the left side of the net and play went on. At the 2:46 stoppage, video review showed the puck had hit the back of the net before it rebounded out. The game was tied at 2-2 with 1:55 elapsed.
Horton broke the tie after some work by his linemates and a juicy rebound. Krejci won a battle down low and passed out to Lucic at the top of the left circle. Lucic got his shot through and Horton cleaned up the loose puck at 10:21.
There were three goals scored in a span of 1:41 early in the first period. Ottawa kicked off the festivities after Bruins failed on a couple of clearing attempts and Colin Greening wound up with the puck in front of the Boston net. He beat Khudobin at 2:48 for a 1-0 lead.
The Bruins responded at 3:28 on a tip by Krejci, who had just won a faceoff in the Ottawa zone. After Zdeno Chara rifled a shot toward the front, Krejci tied the game with the first Bruins' first-period goal in eight games.
It took the Bruins just 59 seconds to take the lead. After an Ottawa giveaway along the side wall, Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand went to the net on a 2-on-1. Seguin's one-time into a yawning net put Boston ahead, 2-1, with 4:29 elapsed in the period.
The pace did not slow much in the second period but the goaltenders were up to the task, as Ottawa outshot Boston, 13-12, but the teams went to the room still separated by one goal. The Bruins endured a huge loss, however, about seven minutes into the middle period when Patrice Bergeron's head made contact with Greening's forearm or elbow while Greening was trying to shoot from the slot. Bergeron, who has had three concussions in his NHL career, left the game and did not return.
The Senators have one more chance to defeat the Bruins before the regular season ends.
"They're a very good team," coach Paul MacLean said. "They make it hard for you to beat them. They don't just let you beat them, and you have to work at it for the whole game. They make you execute and do things right, the whole game long. If you don't, they don't need much to make you pay."

Jan. 31, 2006
It's a big rivalry, but when it is all said and done the two games against Belmont are only two games out of 20 to be played in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Tuesday night Lipscomb's Bisons ended a seven-game A-Sun winning streak, the longest in their brief history in the conference, with an 81-65 loss at Belmont on the road at the Curb Event Center in round two of the "Battle of the Boulevard". A less than capacity crowd of 4,650 watched the game. The Bisons entered the game solidly entrenched in first place.
"We still have eight regular season games left and then the conference tournament," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "There is a lot of basketball to be played."
The Bisons played Belmont twice in 11 days with home-and-away games with Florida Atlantic sandwiched in between. The Bisons went 3-1 in those four games, moving into first place in the Atlantic Sun.
"When you are on top of the league everybody is shooting for you," said Sanderson. "There were 10 teams in our league rooting against us. They want us to drop down into the rest of the pack."
Cold shooting in the first half helped the Bisons dig too deep a hole. The Bisons hit only 8-of-28 first half shots (28.6 percent) while Belmont hit 14-of-27 (51.9 percent).
"We had some open looks," said Sanderson. "We missed 20 shots in the first half. That sucks the life out of you defensively."
Belmont's game plan on defense centered on stopping sophomore forward Eddie Ard, junior guard Brian Fisk and senior guard James Poindexter.
"They focused on those three guys most of the time," said Sanderson. "They have to do more screening, moving and driving to the basket. Our unguarded guys have to be major factors and they weren't. We didn't adjust very well."
For the game the Bisons shot 37.3 percent after posting a 45.2 percent rate in the second half, hitting 14-of-31 shots. Belmont was 18-of-34 in the second half to finish at 52.5 percent for the game.
"I didn't like our body language," said Sanderson. "I'm a big believer in body language. We beat East Tennessee State shooting 29 percent from the floor. We didn't do a very good job on either end of the floor against Belmont.
"That's why I called so many time outs near the end of the game, I wanted them to keep their focus. I wanted them to use good body language. I wanted them to remember to keep their wits about them."
The Bisons trailed 35-24 at intermission, but came out strong in the second half on field goals by Michael Lusk, Poindexter and Jason Guyette to cut the Belmont lead to six (50-44) with 11:09 remaining in the game.
But Belmont quickly rallied, holding on to a double figure lead from 10:18 until the end of the game.
Lipscomb placed three players in double figures with Fisk scoring 14 followed by Poindexter with 11 and Ard with 10.
Junior guard Trey Williams and senior forward Cameron Robinson tied for the rebound lead for Lipscomb with six boards each.
Belmont had four players score in double figures with Josh Goodwin and Brian Collins each scoring a game-high 21 points. Justin Hare finished with 15. Boomer Herndon recorded a double-double with 12 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.
The Bisons are 9-3 in the A-Sun, 13-7 overall, Belmont is 8-4 in the conference, 10-9 overall.

I often think about my personal history; that which is known to me and more importantly, that which is not. With my roots spreading back to various parts of Europe, I find it astounding how much knowledge I might have if the stories of all my ancestors had been passed down.
Even though many of us have stories that have been lost, most of us have recipes that have been passed down for generations. We may have inherited more than a recipe; it might be the way we use our hands when we knead the dough or how we break a spice and smell it.
Food is almost always guaranteed to tell a story; here are some of yours.
Submitted by Eleanor Stadnyk of Saskatoon in remembrance of her mother, Mary
Eleanor grew up on a Manitoba farm in the 1950s. Her mother, Mary, raised seven children, washed clothes with an old wringer machine, maintained a huge garden and fed everyone, from the family, farm hands and men displaced by the Depression. Her husband Nick bought her first stove for $2.50 from Mr. Haney. The stove had a hole in it, which Mary patched with a cement made from ashes, salt and water. "It was a wonderful stove," said Mary, "sure baked good bread. It baked everything."
Nine miles from town, the family was often snowed in during the long, cold and white winters. One year, food supplies were limited to meat and that which was already in the cellar; a bin of potatoes and countless jars of canned vegetables and fruits. The cows had dried up and the chickens had stopped laying. The mandarin oranges normally eaten at Christmas had become a wistful memory of something bright and fresh.
Spring thaw brought rain and mud but little relief to the table. Money seemed tighter than ever on the farm. Eventually, the chickens began laying and the cows gave milk. Eleanor will never forget the day there was something new on the table for lunch; a puffy, golden omelette bursting with the first green shoots from the garden. What a sensation!
6 whole eggs slightly beaten
5 tbsp. milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup or more green onions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine all ingredients.
Pour into buttered casserole.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
Note: Be careful not to over bake. Check to see if it's done at 12 minutes.
Eleanor's grandparents
emigrated from Ukraine in 1896.
Submitted by Shannon Floer of Saskatoon in memory of her Grandpa, Nestor Remenda
Shannon's Grandpa, Nestor Remenda, baked a lot of things but this bread is the most loved in the family. All of the grandkids helped make this bread when they were growing up. Everyone knew when Grandpa and Grandma came to visit they would bring Grandpa Bread with them.
The story goes that when bread reached 12 cents sometime in the 1960s or '70s, Grandpa Nestor thought it was way too much to spend and decided to make bread himself. Yet, Grandma claims it was she who started making the bread and Grandpa took over when he decided he could knead the bread more effectively with his bigger hands.
Regardless of how the bread came to be, Shannon insists there is nothing better than a Grandpa Bread grilled cheese sandwich, which she likes to eat with tomato soup. Grandpa Nestor passed away in 2004 and when Shannon moved back to Saskatoon in 2006 from Ontario, her mom gave her Nestor's bread pans and mixer, and so she continues the tradition of making Grandpa Bread.
Shannon is a fourth generation bread maker and will pass it on to her own children one day.
This is an easy bread that is very forgiving for those new to bread making.
2 cups of liquid (water, milk or a combination of the two)
2 Tbsp. oil
1 egg
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. fast-rising yeast (or one package)
About 5 cups of flour (up to two cups whole wheat, and three cups white all-purpose or bread flour)
Mix liquid, oil, egg, sugar, and salt in a small bowl or 4 L glass measuring cup. Heat in microwave for a minute on high and stir. Test with your finger. If it's a little warmer than your body temperature, then take it out. If not keep heating 30 seconds at a time.
Add fast-rising yeast into liquid and set aside for 10 minutes (yeast will grow and look frothy and lumpy)
Use the dough hooks on a mixer (or mix by hand) and pour the yeast/liquid into the mixing bowl and add 2 cups of whole wheat flour. Mix on low for 1 minute and high for 2 minutes
Slowly add 21/2 to 3 cups of white flour with the mixer on. You have enough when the dough forms a ball around the dough hooks and pulls away from the bowl.
Slowly add another 2 cups of flour and knead it into the bread (dump some in, knead and flip over and repeat. You may not use all the flour or may need a little more). Continue to knead the bread, adding a little flour as needed, until it is no longer sticky.
Lightly oil the surface of a large metal bowl. Form the dough into a small ball and roll it around the bowl covering it in the oil. Place a tea towel over the bowl and put it into a slightly warmed oven for 30 minutes to rise.
Take the bowl out of the oven; the ball should have doubled in size. Punch the dough down to get all the air bubbles out. Cut the dough in half and work on shaping each have into an oval to put into the bread pans.
Lightly oil two bread pans and place the shaped oval bread dough. Cover the two pans with the tea towel and place in the slightly warmed oven for another half an hour to rise.
Take the pans out, turn the oven to 350 F and let it heat up. Bake the bread for 30 minutes. When done, turn the bread out of the pans onto a rack to cool. The bread should be a dark gold on top with a hard crust and when you tap the bottom of the bread it should sound hollow.
HAMBURGER POT (Hackfleischtopf)
Submitted by Pauline Beres of Saskatoon
in memory of her mother, Anni Klein
Pauline's mother, Anni, grew up on a farm in Germany. Her mother passed away while she was young and she learned early to take care of herself by utilizing the resources available to them on the farm, where Hamburger Pot was a regular meal.
Anni immigrated to Canada with her husband and eldest daughter in 1960. Many years later, Pauline was at the German Concordia club with her mother and noticed the recipe for Hamburger Pot in one of the cookbooks.
Pauline remembers coming in from cold and chilly winters to the smell of this dish and instantly feeling warm and cozy. To this day, the recipe still reminds Pauline of her mother's warmth, not to mention, this dish was a great way to get her to eat peas as a child!
Pauline has noticed that since her mother passed she has been cooking more of her dishes to connect through their personal history.
1/2 lb ground beef
1 diced onion
3 Tbsp. tomato paste or plain tomato sauce
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup frozen peas
3 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup whipping cream
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
Dash each of salt, pepper and thyme
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and drain off all but about 1/8 cup of the fat.
Add onion and saute until browned.
Add the tomato paste, salt, pepper and thyme. Stir well, gradually adding rice and peas.
Make sure all ingredients are well mixed and pour into a casserole dish.
Slowly drizzle the whipping cream on top, dot with the butter or margarine and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over top.
Bake at 375 F for about 30 minutes.

Janice Foley moved to Landis from British Columbia in 2007 to be an educational assistant at Landis school. Her three teenage students in the skill club do a lot of cooking but their favourite is this muffin recipe. The students are called the Muffin Men (and girls) because the other students love the muffins. Everyone loves the smell of the muffins when they come out of the oven and how they warm the hallway.
Students often deliver the muffins uptown for people who work at the stores and businesses. In fact, when Janice first started making the muffins in the skill club, the community loved the muffins so much that they kept it going.
The recipe is adaptable to all kinds of fruit and variations; blueberry-orange, apple-cinnamon, pumpkin-raisin spice, Saskatoon berry and zucchini are some examples. You can also use juice if you run out of milk or are allergic to dairy.
The students of Landis School have a favourite; it's Banana Chocolate Chip!
Dry Ingredients:
4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. baking powder
11/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
11/2 cups liquid (milk or juice)
1/2 cup oil
1 Tbsp. vanilla
11/2 cups fruit
Combine dry ingredients in bowl.
In second bowl combine liquids.
Measure fruit.
Stir liquids into dry ingredients until just mixed.
Add fruit and stir.
Put in greased muffin tin. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
APPLE CAKE (Omena Kakku)

Ricky was 10 years old when his family moved to Canada from Finland in 1974. The most important items packed were the family Bible and the homemade handed-down Finnish recipe book. Ricky and his two brothers could never get enough of this Apple Cake and are proud to have found wives who have perfected this recipe and who have found out, the same as their mother did, they can never have enough of this sweet coffee cake to please the appetite.
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into thin rings
2 eggs sifted with 2 cups of flour
cinnamon sugar (2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon)
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt
Cream the butter and sugar together until thick and lemon coloured.
Add the eggs, beating until light.
Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt. Add gradually to the liquid.
Mix until the batter is smooth.
Pour into a well-greased 9 x 12 inch glass pan and insert the apple slices so that the outer edges are up.
Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon and pour batter over top.
Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for about 50 min. or until a cake tester comes out clean.
When baked turn over and let brown sugar harden. (considered an upside down cake)

of her mother, Sophie,
a Canadian pioneer
Marion has a beautiful painting on her wall of the farmhouse near Hafford, where her mother, Sophie, grew up after her parents emigrated from the Ukraine in 1912. Sophie worked for a Doukhobor family near Blaine Lake and a family north of Borden, where she learned various recipes and how to grow a bountiful garden. All this experience was put to good use later on, when Sophie had to feed her own family of 10 children.
Sophie loved to cook and was very good at it. Marion remembers whenever they got home from school there was the smell of something freshly baked and just out of the oven. Having grown up in a family of 12, Marion knows food is something that brings people together. She feels blessed to have grown up on a flourishing farm from 1950-70 with plenty of nutritious and wholesome food to eat.
Kutia is eaten as a dessert or a side dish and is one of 12 meatless dishes served as part of the family's Ukrainian Christmas Eve tradition, along with enormous portions of fun, laughter, singing and love.
