The athlete’s recovery cocktail (sportini)

My last post focused on hydration and featured a power-packed smoothie recipe. I’m still on my hydration and recovery kick, but this time I’ll serve you up a nice “end of the day, I’m absolutely exhausted” recovery cocktail. I’m calling these evening, post-workout drinks sportinis. No alcohol needed. At least not most of the time. And, in my case, certainly not after an energy-draining, dust-collecting, 20 mile, single-track mountain bike ride. I’ll explain the alcohol piece shortly.

As some of you may know, I’m on a mission to get in shape and lose the extra pounds I gained over the winter co-writing a book on sports nutrition with friend, colleague, and ultra-endurance athlete, Pete Bronski of No Gluten No Problem. The Gluten-Free Edge: A Nutrition and Training Guide for Peak Athletic Performance and an Active Gluten-Free Life will be released in June. If you’re interested (semi-shameless plug), you can pre-order it here.

Aahh, the irony of sitting on my bum for long hours writing about nutrition, sports, and wellness—a downgrade in fitness and health, an uptick in weight and low energy. Life is a roller coaster ride at times, wouldn’t you agree?

Regardless of the ups and downs of life, it’s never too late to jump back on the healthy-living bandwagon. Never give up. Check here if you need some serious motivation – Arthur went from disabled, depressed, overweight vet to headstand-crow-chaturanga. Wow.

As Arthur demonstrates, it’s possible to have major gains in strength, aerobic capacity, energy, and over-all radiance if you put your mind and body into it – no matter where you are on the health spectrum. But, as you can see from the video, it takes foot-stomping commitment.

Now, back to the alcohol piece. Studies show that alcohol disrupts sleep patterns, even in low doses. Yes, as little as one glass of wine can impact sleep. You might fall asleep okay, but as your body starts metabolizing the alcohol, sleep becomes progressively more erratic and disturbed. Here’s what happens in a nutshell (or, in this case, a shot glass). You have your glass of red wine. You feel warm and mellow, relaxed and sleepy. An hour or two later you go to bed and fall asleep easily. The first half of the night goes well.

And then, out of nowhere, you wake up at 1:12 AM. That’s a measly four hours after you fell asleep. And no matter what you do, you can’t seem to find na-na land again.

Toss. Turn. Pillow flip. Check the clock. Worry about lost sleep. Start fretting about bizarre things.

Oh my gosh, what if the refrigerator stops working? Did I pay my phone bill? Maybe I should get a puppy. What’s the deal with putting hot dogs in pizza crusts? Disgusting. I hate it that people get Parkinson’s disease. Did I shut the garage door? I’ll probably get another Alaskan Malamute if I get a puppy. Yikes! What was that noise? Is someone in the house? I’m hungry. And tired. Wish I could go to sleep.

Repeat frustrating cycle while incorporating new random worries. Kick covers. Curse crickets.

You get the idea. I don’t have time for that. I need eight hours of sleep. Straight. So, if I want to feel my best and reach my summer sports goals, I have to skip the wine (most of the time anyway, there are exceptions). Here’s where the sportini comes in. After a long day of work topped off with an evening mountain bike ride, I want to feel like I’m having something special like a glass of wine, but without the 2 AM pillow tossing. My post-exercise, recovery cocktails (mocktails/sportinis) replenish lost electrolytes and glycogen stores, provide antioxidants and phytochemicals, and boost hydration. Plus, they feel kind of special like I’m celebrating.

Lemon-lime-mint recovery cocktail (sportini)

P.S. Stay tuned for upcoming book give-aways to highlight May as Celiac Disease Awareness Month.

Hydration and recovery (recipe included)

I have a friend (as brilliant as he is) who recently spent a day or so recovering from a self-induced, internal drought. He was miserable.

If you’re an active person, you’ve probably experienced an imbalance between water intake and water loss at one time or another during an extended period of exercise. It’s not pleasant and greatly impacts your performance whether you’re out for long mountain bike ride or playing a hard-fought tennis match. Exercise capacity can be compromised when a person is dehydrated by as little as 2% of body weight. That’s not much.

We often focus on food sources of fuel, but fatigue during exercise may be the result of dehydration as much as from lack of nutrient intake. It takes much longer to recover from a hydration deficit than it does from a food (energy) deficit. You can eat a banana or a handful of jelly beans and feel better in minutes, but if fluid intake is compromised, it takes a lot longer to recover. If you’re feeling like a saguaro cactus—hot, parched, and moisture-deprived—it will take hours for fluids to trickle back into your blood plasma, muscles, and intracellular fluids. It’s best to make sure you’re well-hydrated to begin with and take measures to stay hydrated while active.

Sip, sip, sip.

And guess what? Food counts as hydration. At least some food does. Processed food contains no water. Raw vegetables and fruit contain quite a bit and come with a supporting cast of nutrients, including sodium, potassium, and magnesium—critical electrolytes lost through sweating.

Power-packed, pre- or post-exercise smoothie (a great combo of ingredients for hydration, performance, and recovery)
Makes one mega serving, or two if you’re forced to share

1-1/2 cups coconut water
1 small banana
1/3 cup frozen cherries
1/3 cup chopped cucumber
1/3 cup chopped raw beets
1 stalk celery, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon flax seeds, ground

Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender and pulse until smooth. Makes about 22 ounces (1-3/4 cups).

PER SERVING: 350 calories; 7 g fat; 70 g carbohydrate; 8 g protein; 13 g fiber
Nutrition Bonus: vitamin C; magnesium; phosphorus; sodium; potassium; thiamin; selenium; zinc

For a detailed post on the differences in high-powered blenders, check this post from my friend Alexa at Lexie’s Kitchen. She’s the blender guru. I have a VitaMix and I love it, but there are several other blenders on the market that will also pulverize chopped beets and celery.

Peace, love, and plant power!

thumbnail Hello,

The 41-year-old has stepped down as the Baggies' technical director after nine years in the job in order to succeed Gareth Southgate as head of elite development

Dan Ashworth has left his role as West Brom technical director in order to become the FA's new head of elite development.

The 41-year-old, who had spent nine years with the Baggies in a number of different capacities, announced in September that he would leave the club in the summer.

With his replacement Richard Garlick already in place at the Hawthorns, however, Ashworth has opted to make an early departure in order to succeed Gareth Southgate.

And the former Norwich defender had nothing but praise for the club, whilst also insisting he will not be missed for the remainder of the season.

He told the club's official website: “I have had nine fantastic years here and I just want to say a big thank to everyone connected with the football club – the staff, players and supporters.

“With the January transfer window now closed, the team having already amassed 40 points and Richard very much hands on in his new role, we all agreed that this would be an appropriate time for me to move on.”

Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace also thanked Ashworth for his hard work, saying: “Dan has worked tirelessly for this football club for the past nine years and leaves with our best wishes.

 “He has remained fully committed to his club responsibilities since it was announced last September he would be leaving, for which I would like to thank him.

"The handover with Richard has gone extremely well, which has enabled us to agree to an early departure date with the FA for Dan, and we now look forward to Richard building on the solid foundations laid by Dan.”

thumbnail Hello,

The Welsh attacker, who has been subject of an enquiry from the Red Devils, admitted that the veteran's decision to call it a day came as a shock at the Spurs training ground

Tottenham winger Gareth Bale has hailed outgoing Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson as the best in history.

Sir Alex announced his decision to step down on Wednesday after 26 and a half years at the Old Trafford helm.

And Bale, who would cost United £70 million if they were to make a summer move, admitted the decision came out of the blue.

7/4 Tottenham are 7/4 with Bet365 to finish in the top four
"To be honest it came as a massive shock, I wasn't really expecting it," he told Sky Sports News. "He's probably the best manager in world football that's ever lived, and he will be a massive loss not just to Manchester United but to the world of football.

"It was a massive shock to me and a few of the lads at the training ground, it will be very strange to go to Old Trafford without Alex Ferguson there."

David Moyes has been appointed as Sir Alex's successor on a six-year deal, and while Bale admits he is likely to carry on the 71-year-old's good work, there is scope for a rough bedding-in period.

"I'm sure now they've gone with the new appointment he will be there overlooking everything and making sure everything's smooth," he added.

"Once the new manager comes in you'll see how they hit the ground running. If there are any problems there I think that might give other teams confidence. I thnk it's all about waiting until next season and seeing how things go."

Sir Alex will bid farewell to United fans after the game against Swansea at Old Trafford on Sunday, while Tottenham keep up their quest for Champions League football away to Stoke.

thumbnail Hello,

The coach and his midfielder Xavi were happy with the team's display after restricting Les Bleus' chances in front of goal, and said the reigning champions were always in control

Vicente del Bosque has expressed his satisfaction with Spain's display after his side ousted France from Euro 2012 with a 2-0 win in the quarter-final on Saturday evening.

Speaking after a game which saw Les Bleus restricted to a single shot on target, the Spanish coach echoed his players' sentiments that the title holders deservedly went through to the semi-finals following another outing where they had limited chances at goal despite dominating the encounter.

"I do not think the result is undeserved because France did not have a proper goalscoring opportunity. We were in control most of the time," Del Bosque said.

Xabi Alonso opened the scoring with a free header after just 19 minutes, before sealing the victory with a penalty in injury time after Anthony Reveillere had fouled Pedro.

Defender Gerard Pique conceded his team-mates were relieved after Alonso's early goal after it became apparent that Laurent Blanc had set out his team to sit back.

"We expected France to play defensively. The first goal made our task easier, we really felt more at ease afterwards."

Xavi also provided a similar take on the match, highlighting how Spain deprived the French side of any clear-cut chances.

"We really controlled the game well. France had almost no goal-scoring opportunity, which is a sign of our good organisation and solidarity."

Spain will now meet Portugal in the semi-finals, to be played on Wednesday at 20:45CET.

Arsenal 2-0 Montpellier: Wilshere & Podolski strikes send Gunners through

Arsene Wenger's side cruised into the knockout stages with comfortable victory as Schalke beat Olympiakos in the other Group B fixture

Jack Wilshere scored his first goal in almost two years as Arsenal booked its place in the knockout stages of the Champions League with victory over Montpellier.

Twenty-four months of injury-ravaged frustration were etched on Wilshere’s face as he celebrated poking Arsenal ahead in the 49th minute before Lukas Podolski sealed the win with a stunning volley on 66 minutes.

Schalke’s win over Olympiakos on Wednesday night means that Arsenal is guaranteed a place in the second round ahead of its final Group B fixture in Athens on December 5.

It was a low key but efficient display from the Gunners as they recorded their first home win against French opposition in 15 seasons in the Champions League against a hard-working yet toothless Montpellier side.

There were, however, some furrowed brows on the Arsenal bench during a turgid first half in which the hosts lacked intensity off the ball and failed to find any rhythm in their passing in possession.

In the 10th minute, Arsene Wenger’s side nearly opened the scoring but Laurent Koscielny’s header rattled against the crossbar after he met Wilshere’s fine cross from the left.

The only other half-chances of note in the first period fell to Podolski, who scuffed wide after robbing a Montpellier defending of possession and then could not wrap his foot around the ball after latching on to Santi Cazorla’s pass.

Arsenal responded to Wenger’s halftime team talk after the break as it came out with far more verve and creativity, with Cazorla and Wilshere in particular looking to open up the visitors’ defense.

In the 49th minute, the Gunners broke the deadlock as Wilshere scored for the first time since his strike in the 4-2 victory over Aston Villa on November 27, 2010.

Thomas Vermaelen floated in a dangerous right-footed cross that former Montpellier striker Olivier Giroud headed down perfectly for Wilshere’s run. The midfielder made the finish look simple as he flicked the ball over Montpellier goalkeeper Geoffrey Jourden.

Jourden would have been forgiven for diving out of the way of the strike that all but sealed the result in the 67th minute. Podolski worked a clever one-two with Giroud and struck a scorching volley from 12 yards that seemed to be increasing in speed as it slammed into the back of the net.

Giroud almost made it three against the club for which he scored 25 goals last season, but the Frenchman’s low right-footed strike was saved by Jourdren as the angles narrowed.

The 12 million pound man was applauded by all corners of the ground as he was substituted six minutes from time. Job done for Arsenal but tougher challenges will await as it progresses to the knockout rounds for the 14th consecutive season.

Ten Fall Student-Athletes Tabbed Academic All-Ivy League

Ten Fall Student-Athletes Tabbed Academic All-Ivy League

bullet Complete Academic All-Ivy League Team

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Ivy League has announced the names of 80 student-athletes – including 10 from Harvard—who have been named to the fall 2008-09 Academic All-Ivy League team.

The honorees are starters or key reserves on officially recognized varsity teams who have cumulative grade-point averages of at least 3.0.  Each of the eight Ivy League schools nominates five men and five women from its eligible student-athletes.

The football team headed the list with three selections, while field hockey boasted two honorees and each soccer program was represented with one student-athlete.  Four of the 10 Harvard recipients are natives of Massachusetts.

Senior Megan Watson, a skipper on the sailing team, was named academic all-league for the second straight season after placing fifth at the New England Women’s Singlehanded Championship and 12th at the national championship this fall.  Watson was an All-New England selection last season and earned All-America honorable mention as a sophomore.

Junior Lizzy Nichols of the women’s soccer team makes her second appearance on the Academic All-Ivy team after being named first-team all-conference for the second straight season.  An ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District choice this fall, Nichols, a defender, scored two goals, including Harvard’s biggest of the year, coming on a penalty kick at 109:51 in double overtime against Columba, lifing the Crimson to the Ivy League title and NCAA tournament.

Junior Lily Durwood led the Harvard women’s volleyball team with 10.77 assists per game and ranks third on the Crimson all-time career assist list with 2,430.  Durwood, an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District honoree,  handed out 30 or more assists on 19 occasions this fall and she had 10 matches with at least 50 assists.

Field hockey seniors Kylie Stone and Abbie Harpstead rounded out the Crimson’s women academic all-league selections.  Stone, a two-year starter in goal and a co-captain this fall, ranked second in the league with two shutouts and third with a 1.71 goals-against average and .782 save percentage.  She is also a three-time honoree on the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) National Academic Squad.

Harpstead was a three-year starter at back for the Crimson and also a three-year NFHCA National Academic Squad selection.  She started the final 49 games of her Harvard career.

Three of the five slots on the men’s side were key members of the 2008 Ivy League football championship team as seniors Andrew Berry and Chris Pizzotti were selected for the second time, joining Eric Schultz on the academic team.  Berry, finalist for the 2008 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Award and Draddy Trophy as well as the John Wooden Citizenship Cup, made 43 tackles and had three interceptions and six pass breakups on the year.  A three-time first team All-Ivy League and three-time Academic All-District choice, Berry, a defensive back, was also chosen to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America first team and the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

Pizzotti finished his career 20-2 as a starter and threw for 2,490 yards and 17 touchdowns this season to lead the Ivy League in passing.  A two-time first-team All-Ivy and Academic All-District honoree, Pizzotti was named the Harvard-Yale game MVP after completing 12-of-21 passes for 109 yards and a score.  A finalist for the Walter Payton Award, he completed his stellar Harvard career ranked second in completions (427) and second in passing yards (5,675) in school history.

Schultz, an inside linebacker, led the Crimson defense in tackles for the third straight season, finishing 2008 with 79, including 36 solo stops and a team-best 4.5 sacks.  A two-time Academic All-District recipient as well as a three-time All-Ivy League pick, Schultz forced key last-minute fumbles this fall that led to wins over Holy Cross and Yale.

Senior forward Michael Fucito of the men’s soccer team earned his second straight selection to the Academic All-Ivy team after finishing the season with 23 points on nine goals and five assists.  He was second in the Ancient Eight with 1.47 points per contest was tabbed on first-team All-Ivy for the third consecutive fall.  Fucito finishes his Harvard career as the school’s fourth all-time leading scorer with 88 points.  He was also named a finalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award and helped the Crimson reach the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Sophomore Daniel Chenoweth finished eighth overall at the Heptagonal Championships, earning second-team All-Ivy honors in the process.  He also finished eighth at the NCAA Northeast Regional and qualified for the NCAA Championships.  At the NCAA meet, he placed 42nd and was just 1.1 second away from All-America distinction.

The Ivy League will publish two more editions of the Academic All-Ivy League team during the 2008-09 academic year, one following the winter season and one at the end of spring competition.

Nature is not peaceful. Animals forced to eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. Constant suffering.. a life dominated by fear to survive.

If god existed and was the all powerful creator, why did it create a world where such hostile conditions of causing death to another life form is needed? To get a kick out of it?

This leaves 2 probable options:

1. god is an evil son of a bitch, and those who worship such a thing are just as bad.
2. there is no god

Oh wait.

2. Who's fault is the suffering? The tens of thousands of people who die of starvation in sub-Saharan Africa each day.. Is God punishing them, or are they breeding at a rate their agricultural systems and Billions of dollars of US aid can't support?

Families suffering from acts of terrorism.. Does God give guns to crazy people, or do people make video games and movies and music and share information that create crazy people?

Free will.

Everything is your fault.

If you want, we can wipe the slate and start over?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24153124

Most humans and animals are stuck on a planet that is not environmentally suitable for their food requirement. The planet could be a lot greener, with natural growing vegetation and lush moderate climate. We have to force it to give us food instead of food growing naturally and abundantly..

Something happened to earth that slammed its natural tilt to the cursed 23.5 degrees. It used to be lush and thick to support the stomachs of dinosaurs ! Nature never meant for a sub saharan Africa. It became that way after the impact.

Maybe your tilt is off because you're taking all of the carbon out of the ground
And putting it into the air
And heating the planet
And heating the core
And weakening the EMF
And the weakened state of your EMF is making Earth vulnerable to external forces.

Not God's fault.

Why More People Are Investing in Precious Metals

Print Friendly

The owners of this website may be paid to recommend Regal Assets. The content on this website, including the positive review of Regal Assets, the negative review of its competitors, and other information, may not be independent or neutral.

With the economic situation being such as it is, lots of people are considering further investment possibilities as a way to secure their future. Gold is one such investment, yet often, lots of people are not sure why they should trade gold. The numerous reasons differ in terms of scope and personal choice, but ultimately, most of us should look into precious metal investments due to a few basic reasons.

Security Compared to Paper Currency

The world is gradually becoming a lot more interconnected, as the economies of quite a few leading countries are intrinsically interdependent in some form. As it has become clear recently, when one major country’s economic situation suffers, the scenario in other major nations is affected too. That can cause a significant global financial downturn, which can affect everybody, traders or common citizens.

Whenever those tough economic downturns come about, probably the most widely chosen courses of action by government authorities all over the world is the deliberate printing of more of their federal currency. This often means that while the supply of global currency increases, its real worth dips, and the currency becomes worth less and less. If considerable percentages of your personal resources are tied in cash, then you will realize that your overall net worth will slowly suffer in terms of considerable funds. Unlike with paper money, gold provides the opportunity for investors to hedge against inflation, due to the fact that when the value of currency declines, gold’s value, conversely, increases. A considerable investment in gold will help you counteract any losses that you may suffer during an inflation. Many industry experts believe that in the absolute worst case scenario, should a worldwide economic crisis happen, the value of gold would soar, to the point in which it would be worth more than other commodities. While it is a rather extreme circumstance to consider, the truth is that investing in gold can help fend off those economic challenges, even on smaller scales.

Portfolio Diversification

Due to the reason previously mentioned, robust precious metal investment will allow you to branch out your portfolio. No matter the level of expertise, most investors are aware of how crucial it is to keep diversified investment portfolio. Nevertheless, a great number of dealers typically invest in the stock market. In the event of economic downturns, the value of stocks and shares is likely to be as adversely impacted as the worth of the dollar itself, which often can reduce the value of most portfolios. By securing a significant amount of precious metals in your individual portfolio, you will be prepared to protect yourself in the event of your other investments suffering. Whenever the general value of the stock market itself suffers a downturn, the probabilities are that gold rates will be steadily increasing. Prudently balancing your portfolio with gold and other precious metals will allow you to plan for just about any economic challentes that may occur in the future market developments.

Demand and Scarcity

In contrast to paper money, gold or other precious metals are not something which can merely be printed and put into the market. Precious metals must be mined, which means that there is a constant demand that must be met and which could not be met unless the lengthy and difficult process of mining it is in effect. Historically speaking, there are no projections suggesting that there will be a decrease in the demand for gold and other precious metals. Mostly everyone values precious metal, since it projects a strong image in regard to financial wealth in addition to being an important part of human history. If projections suggest one thing, it is that the demand for gold will only increase with the passage of time, as an increasing number of developing nations emerge and the worldwide supply of gold dwindles. As such, with the demand for gold increasing, it makes sense that its worth will increase too.

Potential Long-Run Advantages

People who are considering investing in gold should keep the long run in mind, since the value of gold usually does fluctuate during the short term. In the long run, however, the overall value is going upwards at a constant pace, in spite of the periodic downturn. Acquiring gold can be an exceptional strategy, as long as the investor understands that persistence is something that must be considered when dealing with gold investments. Gold is something that will always have intrinsic worth, and, therefore, it must not be taken lightly. Investing in shares and stocks might be a great way to think about the short term, yet the fact remains that as long as paper currency is associated with the value of the stock, then you will always be at risk of losing money in the unfortunate event of the company going bankrupt or suffering some other economic fall. Nonetheless, when you physically possess gold, then even in the case of a short-term value drop, you will still be protected for the future.

Simple and Flexible Investment Options

One of the most attractive advantages of precious metal investment is that investors find it very quick and simple to acquire precious metals, particularly in recent years. Gold investments have become a lot more popular among people since the advent of the web, as there are now numerous ways you can invest in gold online. Acquiring gold on the internet is incredibly easy and simple, as all you need to do is figure out how much precious metal you intend to obtain, what form you want the gold to take, and then place your order with the online precious metal business. Delivery is often immediate, and within a few days, you will have your gold deliveredstraight to your home. Some premiums may need to be considered when investing in gold, but luckily, one of the best things aboutacquiring gold online is the fact that most of these businesses keep their premiums low and affordable.

In case you are excited about starting precious metal investments, it is highly recommended for you to visit RegalAssets.com. The many positive experiences dealers have reported with this website have made it the top gold organization on the web.

Parry Sets Pace in New Zealand

European TourQUEENSTOWN, New Zealand -- Craig Parry shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday for a share of the first-round lead in the New Zealand Open with Australian countryman Paul Sheehan and England's Matthew Woods.
Parry, the 2002 champion and a two-winner on the U.S. PGA Tour, had five birdies and a bogey on The Hills Golf Club course. He played in the morning before windy afternoon conditions made scoring difficult.
'It's a course that when it isn't blowing, you can go out and shoot a low number,' Parry said. 'If the wind blows like it normally would, par's a very good round. We had great conditions out there earlier. The greens were reasonably receptive, the putting surfaces were very good and I played really well.'
Former champions, Peter Fowler of Australia and Michael Long of New Zealand were in a large group at 69. Sweden's Daniel Chopra, coming off a playoff loss to Aaron Baddeley last week in the Australian Masters, opened with a 70.
New Zealand star Michael Campbell shot a 73.
The tournament, sanctioned by the Australasian and European tours, has drawn only 32 European players.
The newly developed course, hosting a major tournament for the first time, was built and is privately owned by New Zealand jewelry magnate Michael Hill, the tournament sponsor.

How to make the perfect hot chip

Larissa Dubecki
Nothing beats a perfect chip.

In the annals of world cuisine, has there ever been a thing so abject yet so wonderful as the chip? The chip – the hot chip, not the crisp, its bastard cousin once removed – is essential. It is the culinary handmaiden to steak, to fish, to the footy. It's a seemingly simple subject, but scratch the crisp-golden surface and it's a mighty big topic where a little bit of thought goes a long way.

It was Heston Blumenthal, of course, who upon deciding the chip needed to be put through the scientific wringer, went off and invented the triple-cooked chip ("The first recipe I could call my own," he has reportedly dubbed it). The chip world's answer to Joel Robuchon's mash, the triple-cooked chip has ever since been colonising top restaurants one menu at a time, often referred to poshly as "thrice-cooked" (possibly to justify the price).

But when it comes to making the perfect chip, should we trust a man who confessed to Good Food he hadn't heard of chicken salt? Here's our rough guide to the perfect chip.

The spud

The beauty of the pursuit of chip perfection is that it doesn't involve exotic ingredients. Let's start with Heston. His Melbourne kitchen at Dinner uses the Sebago spud for the famous triple-cooked chip. He also says you want a "glass-like crust".

Mmm, shattery …

So why the Sebago? The secret to good chipping is to use potatoes that are floury rather than waxy – they're denser and have more dry starch in the cells which, during cooking, separates and becomes dry and fluffy (thanks, Harold McGee).

Sebago aside, varieties begging to be chipped include the Royal Blue, Pontiac, Coliban, Bintje, King Edward, Russet Burbank and Desiree.

"Russets without a doubt," says Melbourne chef Paul Wilson. "They are long tubular shaped potatoes. The skin is terrific for frying too; their low sugar content makes them the perfect foolproof chip."

Some say it's best to buy older spuds that have been on the shelf for at least a month (just ask your local greengrocer to confess to geriatric potatoes). And it's best to buy unwashed potatoes, as the industrial washing process can make potatoes absorb water – and water, as we all know, is the enemy of the crisp chip.

The oil

Animal fats have made a resurgence – duck fat is le bomb in some circles – and even beef dripping is getting a look-in with people who laugh in the face of cholesterol. Just remember animal fats burn easily. Quay head chef and owner of Melbourne's Merricote, Rob Kabboord, says he used to be a beef dripping kind of guy "(back) in my Euro days and it makes for a really nice crisp chippy, but I prefer the cleaner flavour of chips cooked in oil".

Wilson concurs. "It's certainly delicious to cook in animal fats, but I like rice bran oil for wellbeing reasons. The neutral flavour and the oil's low burning point and shelf life means it can be reused and the potato's flavour is considered." Other oils to consider are groundnut, cottonseed and sunflower oil.

The shape

File this one under "personal preference". Kabboord is Dutch, which means one thing: he is patriotically sworn to defend the skinny fry against its wider interloper (and let's not forget the essential paper cone for serving). With their lack of uniformity, hand-cut chips look more pleasingly rustic and you can chamfer the ends – cut them on an angle – so they don't look like fence posts (Google "Jenga chip" for angry online dissertations on this despised architectural chip). Aim for roughly equal length and thickness so they cook at the same rate (about 10 to 15 millimetres is a good rule of thumb). As for the eternal skin-on versus skin-off debate: It comes down to preference, really, but we should point out that skin on can veer dangerously into wedge territory. Shannon Bennett's Vue empire does chips with the skin kept only on the ends, which seems an excellent rustic compromise.

The cooking

Triple cooking – is it a crock? No, says Kabboord, who serves triple-cooked chips (blanched in water, cooled, then cooked twice in oil, once at low heat and finally at high heat) at Merricote. "The triple cook just gets a better crispy outside and a fluffier middle than the twice-cooked chip – so yes, definitely triple cooked," he says. If you're feeding a small army and have reached Peak Potato, you should keep the peeled, cut spuds in water before cooking so they don't oxidise. According to Wilson, triple cooking is best when you're going for a fatter chip. For skinny fries, double cooking will be enough.

The recipe

Rob Kabboord's triple-cooked chips

1. Cut your chips – Kabboord prefers to use a mandolin.

2. Rinse them to get rid of some of the starch.

3. Put chips in lightly salted boiling water and cook until soft (about five to six minutes).

4. Drain and let them dry a little (Blumenthal's version first chills them in the freezer to get rid of as much moisture as possible) then put them in hot oil at 140 degrees Celsius. Cook in small batches so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop too much. "They will take another six minutes or so. You can check them – there should be no crunch or colour yet, but they will be cooked and soft all the way through. You can then reserve them without going grey (oxidising) in the fridge until you are ready for them."

5. To finish, fry until golden in oil heated to about 180 degrees Celsius. Put them on absorbent paper to soak up any excess fat, then garnish with salt.

Pimp Your Chip

Salt is the chip's best friend, and to be a good friend it needs to be a good salt, such as Murray River or Maldon – blitz it so you don't get little salt rocks falling to the bottom.

Chips also enjoy the company of, in no particular order: Old Bay multipurpose seasoning (it's a blend of mustard, paprika, celery salt and more), chipotle salt, Sriracha, mayonnaise and gravy.

Blumenthal can't decide between ketchup (that's tomato sauce) and mayonnaise, so he's invented "ketchup-mayo – I love ketchup-mayo. Also malt vinegar".

How he prefers his chips is all about context. "With fish and chips, (I prefer) soggy chips – they're soggy because they're all wrapped in paper. And a chip butty. I love thick white bloomer covered in butter, with hot chips. That was what I had as a kid."

Paul Wilson, being British, loves simple sea salt and Sarson's malt vinegar: "It's a very English treat. For a cheffy thing I like to flavour my salts with mortar and pestle-ground baked herbs like rosemary. Chicken stock cubes mixed with salt is always a crowd pleaser."

Kabboord sticks to the Dutch brief and prefers mayonnaise instead of tomato sauce but also enjoys getting fancy with smoked salt. "This gets made for us in Holland; there is a smokehouse where they smoke eel and other fish and they leave a tray of salt flakes in the smoker for about three months and it is just delicious, umami-rich salt, mixed with a little freshly cracked black pepper and some dried parsley." He also suggests making truffle salt by shaving fresh truffle into salt flakes.

And don't forget the Aussie favourite, chicken salt. For Heston's benefit, it's the umami salt bomb that contains actual chicken (roasted, braised then dried). And it's delicious.

Report: Lamar Odom’s Alleged Drug Dealers Possibly Connected to Khloe Kardashian Jewelry Heist

Posted Thursday March 6, 2014 12:59 AM GMT

As news continues to roll out about the reported theft from Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian's former Tarzana, CA home, more information has come in, stating that Lamar's past may have been coming back to haunt him.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, Khloe reportedly had $250,000 worth of watches and jewelry stolen from their vacant house, as they prepared for Kaley Cuoco and fiance Ryan Sweeting to move in.

TMZ sources say that Lamar allegedly owed tens of thousands of dollars to his drug dealers in recent months, and that he reportedly never paid them before leaving on his trip to Spain.

The source reported that the 34-year-old basketball star had received threatening text messages from the alleged dealers, telling him that they would break into his house if they did not receive their money.

While cleaning out the residence on Monday, Kardashian discovered that watches and gold chains worth an estimated quarter-million dollars had gone missing, although there were no signs of forced entry.

Investigators reportedly think one of the dealers may have been connected to a worker who had lawful access to the home. Stay linked to GossipCenter as more information appears!

Simon Cowell Asked About Pregnancy; Lauren, Andrew Silverman Break Silence

Truth rating: 10
(Getty Images)

By Shari Weiss

(Getty Images)

Simon Cowell faced the media during a “X Factor” panel at Thursday’s Television Critics’ Association press tour, where the judge was questioned about expecting a baby with Lauren Silverman. The reality show bigwig was reportedly asked whether Silverman’s pregnancy was as big a shock to him as it was to the public. “I haven’t read the newspapers. Am I missing something?” he reportedly joked in reply.

Cowell is quoted as going on to say, “I appreciate the question. Unfortunately I have to keep this, for the moment, private. It’s just one of those things.” Asked again about the situation later on, the former “American Idol” judge reportedly said, “I would love to [talk], but I have to respect a lot of people’s feelings right now.” “There a lot of things I will eventually clear up when the time is right,” he continued, “but I really have to be sensitive because there’s a lot of people’s feelings involved here.”

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Silverman is currently estranged from Cowell’s close friend Andrew Silverman, who has filed divorce papers accusing the pair of committing adultery. Andrew broke his silence about the situation on Thursday night, releasing a statement that says, “My top priority is protecting my 7-year-old son while working to resolve all outstanding issues with my wife.” He added, “Hopefully people can respect the interest of our child during this process.” Lauren later released a similar statement that read, “I am committed to sorting things out with Andrew as amicably as possible to ensure the well-being of our son. I would hope for some space and privacy in order to work through this.”

The Return of an Ink Blogger

Ink Bloggers are a rare breed. It takes time and patience to put your thoughts into Ink and put them out there. At least from my perspective as one of the world’s worst scribblers. So it is good to see that an Ink Blogger has returned to the web with a new blog. Silver was one of the most prodigous of Sumocat’s Ink Blogging progeny (he spawned a small Ink revolution) who stopped sharing her Ink awhile back. But it looks like Silver has returned with a new blog titled Sil. Check it out.

Workforce Investment Act Leaves Many Jobless and in Debt

August 19, 2014

When the financial crisis crippled the construction industry seven years ago, Joe DeGrella’s contracting company failed, leaving him looking for what he hoped would be the last job he would ever need.

He took each step in line with the advice of the federal government: He met with an unemployment counselor who provided him with a list of job titles the Labor Department determined to be in high demand, he picked from among colleges that offered government-certified job-training courses, and he received a federal retraining grant.

In 2009, Mr. DeGrella, began a course at Daymar College — a for-profit vocational institute in Louisville — to become a cardiology technician. Daymar officials told him he would have a well-paying job within weeks of graduation.

But after about two years of studying cardiovascular physiology and the mechanics of electrocardiograms, Mr. DeGrella, now 57, found himself jobless and $20,000 in debt. He moved into his sister’s basement and now works at an AutoZone.

Millions of unemployed Americans like Mr. DeGrella have trained for new careers as part of the Workforce Investment Act, a $3.1 billion federal program that, in an unusual act of bipartisanship, was reauthorized by Congress last month with little public discussion about its effectiveness. Like Mr. DeGrella, many have not found the promised new career.

Instead, an extensive analysis of the program by The New York Times shows, many graduates wind up significantly worse off than when they started — mired in unemployment and debt from training for positions that do not exist, and they end up working elsewhere for minimum wage.

Split between federal and state governments — federal officials dispense the money and states license the training — the initiative lacks rigorous oversight by either. It includes institutions that require thousands of hours of instruction and charge more than the most elite private colleges. Some courses are offered at for-profit colleges that have committed fraud in their search for federal funding. This includes Corinthian Colleges Inc., which reached an agreement last month with the federal Education Department to shut down or sell many of its campuses.

The Times examination, based on state and federal documents, school and court records, and interviews, shows that some of the retraining institutions advertise graduation and job-placement rates that often do not hold up to scrutiny.

The idea of dividing responsibility between federal and state officials was to give local and state authorities more power in helping the unemployed in their areas. But the unemployed who sign up for training are often left to navigate a bureaucratic maze with almost no guidance. To avoid any appearance of favoritism, federal job counselors are not allowed to recommend schools to job seekers, leaving many of the unemployed to unwittingly select institutions that are expensive, have a history of legal trouble or are academically substandard.

University System of Georgia Considers Statewide Tobacco Ban

Updated: 3 years ago.
The Georgia Board of Regents is considering banning smoking at all of its institutions. Currently, college and universities create their own tobacco policies. (photo Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

The University System of Georgia is looking at banning tobacco use on all of its campuses.

The policy already has taken root at some colleges and universities.

Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah is among 20 state colleges and universities with a 100% tobacco-free policy.

Middle school teacher Eric Koonce graduated from Armstrong last summer and was part of the student leadership that pushed the change at the university.

He says while students were divided, he supported the total ban because a partial ban wasn't working.

"We tried to set barriers, that's the thing," Koonce says. "First, the University had areas where you could smoke. And we felt like that wasn't being followed."

He says smokers weren't staying in designated spots.

"Sometimes they don't think it's a big deal," Koonce says. "But I just think be consistent about the rules. Be like, 'Hey, you know, no smoking right here, please.' I'm not saying you have to write anybody a ticket or things like that. But just keep it consistent. Keep it firm."

Arkansas, Iowa and Oklahoma are the only states with a statewide tobacco ban at all public colleges and universities, according to the American Nonsmokers Rights Foundation.

Other states have lengthy lists of tobacco-free campuses, but no top-down mandate.

The foundation's Bronson Frick says such changes typically have sprung from students and faculty.

"Traditionally this issue has had a bottom-up approach," Frick says.

The Regents discussed the ban this week, but they're not scheduled to vote on it until next month.

If approved, the ban would go into effect July first.

Armstrong public health professor Sara Plaspohl says if other schools are to implement the ban successfully, they'll need buy-in from all parties.

"I think in our situation, it was critical," Plaspohl says. "I think that we had leadership within the student government, within the faculty, within staff and most importantly, with our administration."

A total ban means no smoking, even at sporting events and in dorms and cars.

Celebrity Style Watch: Gosling's Gangster Moment

Ryan Gosling stepped out last night in Los Angeles for his Gangster Squad premiere looking just a bit influenced by the '40s era duds he sports in his latest flick. The actor wore a throwback three-piece tobacco brown rig from Gucci, but finished the look off with a studded pair of lace-ups that we're pretty sure have no historical significance. We can't fault Gosling if we don't love what happening south of the hem though; the man practically disappeared from red carpets last year and getting back to those pre-2012 levels of swagger takes time. But that suit sure does help.

Old Friends

Over the Christmas break, our little family went to Tyler for a few days to visit my parents and see extended family. Little Reese was sick so that clouded Christmas day a little, but Will did great and had a great time. The day after Christmas my middle school/high school girlfriends were miraculously all in Tyler (from North Carolina, Tennessee, and Dallas) so we got together with hubbies to meet up for dinner and to meet and interrogate Anne's boyfriend. It was a blast! You can see also that two of us are very pregnant. I have known these girls for almost 20 years now (wow) and it's always lots of fun to get together and catch up.

I am 13 days away from giving birth to our third child and I think about it, oh, several times a minute. I'm so ready!! We can't wait to meet our little guy and see how he fits into our family.

Sir Thomas Wyatt: Poems

Best Answer

"I burn and freeze like ice" - simile

The most common literary device here is antithesis - he keeps comparing things that are opposites - he says "I fly" and yet "can I not arise"

His mention of death is a kind of personification since it refers to "it" after the mention of death

Obviously he is in great confusion in his life.

love is a prison

a war; a series of contradictions- war and peace,

burn and freeze like ice, live nor die, sorrow and laugh, delight as a causer of strife.

thanx for ur help but can u be more spesific for examples give me a sentences through the poem to make it clear sorry but i really need them for my exam....

Jubilant pupils cheer ‘good’ report

Good OFSTED Report at Belton Lane School.

Good OFSTED Report at Belton Lane School.

Have your say

A BIG cheer resounded at Belton Lane Community Primary School when the latest Ofsted result was announced.

Proud staff and pupils at the school were over the moon to find out they had achieved a ‘good’ grade following an inspection in March.

Inspectors found many areas had been improved upon since the school’s last Ofsted inspection in March 2009.

Teachers’ teamwork, the headteacher’s vision and passion, pupils’ progress and high quality teaching and learning were among the areas praised.

However, headteacher Jonathan Mason said he is disappointed in the poor attendance of some pupils.

He said: “We have been working hard to improve the attendance of these children, as the report clearly states, and once attendance is improved I would expect the next Ofsted report to be ‘outstanding’.”

'Raja Rani' Dubbed Telugu Version A Hit

The dubbed Telugu version of the hit Tamil romantic-drama "Raja Rani" raked in Rs.2.01 crore in its opening weekend. Trade analyst Trinath calls it "an exceptional start" for a dubbed movie.

The Telugu version was released Friday.

"It's an exceptional start for a dubbed film. 'Raja Rani' has collected Rs.2.01 crore gross in its opening weekend. It's been a long time since a Tamil movie dubbed in Telugu has turned out to be a hit. The film is on the verge of becoming a hit," Trinath told IANS.

The original, directed by debutant Atlee Kumar, minted over Rs.50 crore at the box office last year.

The film, which features Arya, Jai, Nayantara and Nazriya Nazim, revolves around a love story between two couples post marriage.

A.R. Murugadoss, Fox Star Studios and The Next Big Films jointly produced “Raja Rani”.

Artemis Picture

Artemis was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities. Her Roman equivalent is Diana. Some scholars[1] believe that the name, and indeed the goddess herself, was originally pre-Greek.[2] Homer refers to her as Artemis Agrotera, Potnia Theron: "Artemis of the wildland, Mistress of Animals".[3] In the classical period of Greek mythology, Artemis (Greek: (nominative) Ἄρτεμις, (genitive) Ἀρτέμιδος) was often described as the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginity and young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows.[4] The deer and the cypress were sacred to her. In later Hellenistic times, she even assumed the ancient role of Eileithyia in aiding childbirth
