I am so up for the challenge of eating local. In a lot of ways, we already are eating a good deal of local produce thanks to our CSA subscription. (Thanks, Jill!) Our first entirely local meal (aside from a few spices, and one tablespoon each of flour and butter, which I'm working on) was steak from my brother's ranch:
(Look! That meat was cut just for me! And rib eye is my favorite.)
curried turnips, made with CSA turnips and local milk:
and salad, featuring mixed greens, spinach, radishes, broccoli rabe, turnips and sugar snap peas, topped with local feta dressing.
Delish! As Eliot says, "Bon Appetit, my sweet! Let's eat!"
adapted from a recipe for curried radishes, found in A Midwest Gardener's Cookbook.
5-6 turnips, cut in 1 inch cubes
3/4 cups milk
1 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. curry powder (okay, I used more like 1/2 tsp.)
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
dash of salt
Put turnips in a sauce pan with enough water to cover, boil until just tender. Drain.
Melt butter in pan, add the flour and spices and mix to incorporate. Add milk and simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken. Add turnips back to the pot and heat through.
Tim and Eliot loved the turnips. I would have liked them better if there had been more variety of vegetables added in and a little less sauce. If you give it a try, let me know what you think.
I'm off to pick up this week's CSA bag tonight and in the morning Aidin and I head to Mother / Daughter camp with my mom and my niece. Have a great weekend, friends!

At first glance of the scriptures this week from Luke 13, one would find the question of someone who encountered Jesus along His way to Jerusalem challenging to answer. Namely that is “Who will be saved?” Initially I thought of all the different responses, from a small group of faithful, to those 144,000 to everyone and anything in between that might be a response. We get a clearer idea from our reflection on the scriptures. God’s desire is that all people be saved, but it also requires our participation. Ultimately salvation is God’s gift to us, but it is clear that we participate through our acceptance of this gift.
Let’s get at it! The scripture from the prophet Isaiah brings a message of hope and joy. It is clear that this word from the prophet gives us the hope that God has for humanity.
Thus says the LORD:
I know their works and their thoughts,
and I come to gather nations of every language;
they shall come and see my glory.
The Lord desires that the peoples come from the East and West the North and South to find a place in the Kingdom of God.
“They shall bring all your brothers and sisters from all the nations
as an offering to the LORD,”
Israel’s special relationship with God as His chosen people is meant to bring the possibility of salvation for all persons. God seeks out persons of every language and way of life to share in His glory. Through this desire and invitation, being partakers in the Divine Life is offered to us to live our lives for others to the glory of God. He says the Lord knows their works and their thoughts.
This is the lead into the Gospel of Luke where we find someone asking Jesus,
” Someone asked him,
“Lord, will only a few people be saved?”
We might look at this with concern, however, if we put ourselves back in the first century, we have a Jewish man asking a Jewish Rabbi what would at first seem to be easy. Being God’s chosen people would seemingly be sufficient for salvation. Salvation isn’t an ingroup or outgroup, as a Good Old Boys Club, only a few of the chosen and destined can enter. Recall, it was from the beginning and is still God’s desire that all people be saved.
Jesus’ response paves the path for us to walk to salvation.
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate,
for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter
but will not be strong enough.
In the Gospels we here of the challenges and requirements to enter through the narrow gate. The narrow gate speaks to what our part is in God’s gift of salvation for us. Jesus teaches us that we need to rid ourselves of the baggage that weighs us down and prevents us from entering the narrow gate.
“And again, I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And when the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can be saved?” And looking upon them Jesus said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (NASB) Matthew 19:24-26
In the ancient city there were foot gates and gates that carts, camels and larger items could through to enter the city. The needle’s gate was the narrow Gate and the only way for a Camel to enter would be unpack it, lower it in and then put the load back on its back. Here we see that we have a great deal weighing us down, heavy and burdensome. whether it is the weight of sin, bad habits and negative attitudes, or if its greed, hatred, or sloth or a life that is centered on self. Whatever it is we need to unpack, unload and be free to live for God and others.
In the Gospel of John Jesus has a number of “I am” teachings and having said that He is the Good Shepherd, and that His sheep know his voice, he further clarifies this when He refers to Himself as the Sheep Gate, ” So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.” What we think, say and do, will demonstrate our ability to listen to God’s voice and direction in our lives. Our willingness like Jesus to care for those on the peripheries, those in need, those who are marginalized. How we seek Justice for those who cannot stand on their own.
To enter through the narrow gate cannot just be eating and drinking and listening to Jesus, but it requires action. Being in the Good Old Boy Club isn’t enough, listening to Jesus and doing nothing is not an option. Clearly, we are called to act in justice and work for the betterment of our sisters and brothers and to be at the service of others. This leads to true life and living the divine life.

Iran may be censured for nuclear activity
VIENNA, Austria (AP) Seeking to avoid a rift with the United States, European nations discussed increasing censure of Iran over its past covert nuclear activities as they prepared for a key meeting of the U.N. atomic agency.
The United States had hoped that the 35-nation board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency would find Tehran in noncompliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty at its meeting, which opens Thursday.
It rejected a proposed West European draft resolution that would urge Iran to continue cooperation with the agency but refrain from harshly condemning it for concealing parts of its nuclear program, saying it was prepared to opt for no resolution rather than a toothless one.
IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei also was unhappy with the lack of stronger language in the European proposal, a diplomat familiar with his thinking said. Drawn up by France, Germany and one of Washington's closest allies, Britain, the rough draft minimized nearly two decades of covert nuclear programs that the U.S. administration says point to an effort to develop nuclear weapons.
Instead, it focused on positive steps taken by Iran over the past few weeks to deflect international suspicions, including suspending uranium enrichment and agreeing to inspections on demand by IAEA inspectors.
Hopes for compromise grew after 25 European nations — The 15-member European Union and 10 others set to join next year — met late into Wednesday night in an attempt to minimize differences with the "group of four" — the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan.
A senior diplomat, who reported on the meeting on condition of anonymity, said the main point of discussion was "how to deal with Iran's past nuclear activities."
Whereas the initial West European wording chastised Iran for "failure to fulfill its obligations," there was discussion at the late Wednesday meeting of stronger language — either including past "noncompliance" of IAEA agreements on the part of Iran, or finding it in "breach of its obligations."
Both would be more acceptable to the United States and its allies, said the diplomat. He said the proposed language would likely be discussed between Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bush as well as between Secretary of State Colin Powell and German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer,
The three West European sponsors of the draft "want to see continued cooperation and transparency from Iran," said another senior Western diplomat.
He said the draft would make clear that the board would not accept "repetition of past mistakes, deceit or tricks," and would urge Iran to immediately open its nuclear programs to pervasive inspections even before the agreement is ratified.
It would also ask Iran to maintain its commitment to suspending uranium enrichment — one of the activities that raised suspicions when discovered early this year.
While the Americans have no dispute with those demands, they were dismayed that the initial proposed draft glossed over activities such as uranium enrichment and experimental plutonium processing that they say violate the Nonproliferation Treaty, the diplomats said.
But IAEA director general ElBaradei also sought a tougher stance. He took the Iranians to task for effective breaches of the Nonproliferation Treaty in a report that also, however, concluded that there was no proof Iran had a weapons agenda.
ElBaradei wants "a strongly worded report" that stops short of asking for Security Council involvement, a step that could lead to sanctions against Iran, one diplomat said.
The West Europeans fear too much pressure would turn Iran from cooperation to confrontation and hope to help Iran with its peaceful nuclear programs. But several diplomats suggested the dispute also reflected West European independence similar to that shown by the French-German attempt to scuttle the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Washington was particularly dismayed that Britain, its staunchest ally in Iraq, was siding with the French and Germans over Iran, they said.
The Americans see the draft as "another (European) chance to stick your thumb in the eyes of the United States," said one.

Pb – ville!
After my interview tomorrow I’m planning on driving a little further and making my first trip down to Leadville! Leadville is the highest city in the United States and because of it, has some pretty bad A races!
It’s home to the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race, probably the most popolar of any in the race series. Because yes, Lance Armstrong has done it, and won it. But last year Levi Lephimer crushed Lance’s record from the previous year and this August won the inaugural US Pro Cycling Challenge; proving he truly owns the Colorado Mountains!
Leadville is also home to the Leadman Race Series, which involves: Trail Marathon, Leadville Silver Rush 50-Mile Mountain Bike Race or Silver Rush 50-Mile Trail Run Race, LT100 10K (I’ll be racing this in August), Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race, and Leadville Trail 100-Mile Run…yikes!
I guess that’s how the saying goes…”Leadville is home for miners, muckers, and mean mother-f*ckers.”
Plenty of photos and a blog writeup to come on Saturday after I get back!!

Review: The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine
Wren Caswell is average. Ranked in the middle of her class at Sacred Heart, she’s not popular, but not a social misfit. Wren is the quiet, “good” girl who's always done what she's supposed to—only now in her junior year, this passive strategy is backfiring. She wants to change, but doesn’t know how.
Grayson Barrett was the king of St. Gabe’s. Star of the lacrosse team, top of his class, on a fast track to a brilliant future—until he was expelled for being a “term paper pimp.” Now Gray is in a downward spiral and needs to change, but doesn’t know how.
One fateful night their paths cross when Wren, working at her family’s Arthurian-themed catering hall, performs the Heimlich on Gray as he chokes on a cocktail weenie, saving his life literally and figuratively. What follows is the complicated, awkward, hilarious, and tender tale of two teens shedding their pasts, figuring out who they are—and falling in love.
Summary from Goodreads.
I'm sadly giving this book the lowest rating ever on the blog, plus I haven't given this low of rating in quite a while. I was really looking forward to this novel, it looks like a cute contemporary teen romance that I would fly through and be happy, but nope.
My biggest problem with is book is the fact that I did not care for the main characters, which tends to make the book drag on, I could barely make myself finish it. It was going well in the beginning, I giggled at some of Wren's quotes, but than Grayson came and was shallow and uninteresting, and my love ended around page 40. Plus he falls for Wren after one chapter of the book, instant love is not my cup of tea, I want more wooing!
I don't mean to be harsh, this is my opinion, and I have a problem with misspelling words on purpose which happens in the book with the word hot. Hawt, I hope to never see that word ever again, away foul creature!
Two of Five Stars.

A young footballer broke down in tears after telling a jury that she was raped by on her first night out.
The 19-year-old stated she was led to a grassy muddy area after meeting a man at The Buf bar in Prestwick, South Ayrshire, between September 14 and 15, 2019.
The teenager claimed she thought she were just going to kiss before he forced himself on her despite repeated pleas to stop.
Graham McClung, 29, accused is on trial at the High Court in Glasgow charged with raping the woman to her injury.
The footballer, who was 17 at the time, told jurors that she had been on a night out with her football team.
She stated that she danced with a man in his twenties through the night.
The woman told the court that she to briefly left the club after a parent asked her to come home.
She added: “I said to myself this was my first night out, I’m going to enjoy it, so I went back.”
The woman claimed she hadn’t spoke to the man until he asked her to leave with him around 11.30pm.
Prosecutor Craig Murray asked how the witness felt about it.
She replied: “It didn’t have any effect on me, I just kind of went.”
Mr Murray followed up by asking what the woman expected to happen – she said: “A kiss.”
The woman said the pair walked down a lane across from the nightclub into a “muddy grassy area.”
She said they had a “sloppy” kiss before the man touched her on the breasts.
The teen broke down in tears when Mr Murray asked if the man touched her anywhere else on the body.
She said: “He used his hand and put it under her skirt.” which put her in “shock” and she tried to push him away.
Mr Murray asked if she said anything in response.
She replied: “I told him to stop.”
She told the court that the man then raped her. Mr Murray then asked what was going through her mind at that moment.
The witness replied: “I didn’t want to be there.”
McClung of Tarbolton, South Ayrshire, denies the single charge.
The trial continues.

Giorgio Vasari, in the enlarged edition of Lives of the Artists, 1568, introduced his chapter on Leonardo da Vinci with the following words: “In the normal course of events many men and women are born with remarkable talents; but occasionally, in a way that transcends nature, a single person is marvellosly endowed by Heaven with beauty, grace and talent in such abundance that he leaves other men far behind, all his actions seem inspired and indeed everything he does clearly comes from God rather than from human skill. Everyone acknowledged that this was true of Leonardo da Vinci, an artist of outstanding physical beauty, who displayed infinite grace in everything that he did and who cultivated his genius so brilliantly that all problems he studied he solved with ease.” It is never too early to introduce kids to art through books and museum visits, but parents often fear that kids will be bored. Parents can make art trip successful by giving kids spending a lot of time with few artworks instead of trying to see a lot. The books of Gallery for Kids series were written on a plain language and will be of interest to all ages.

A single sketch becomes an all-consuming quest to understand and identify a work by Leonardo da Vinci himself—the first new drawing by the great master to have surfaced in over a century. Fred Kline is a well-known art historian, dealer, connoisseur, and explorer who has made a career of scouring antique stores, estate sales, and auctions looking for unusual—and often misidentified—works of art. Many of the gems he has found are now in major museum collections like the Frick, the Getty, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But this book is about the discovery of one piece in particular: About ten years ago, when Kline was routinely combing through a Christie's catalog, a beautiful little drawing caught his eye. Attributed to Carracci, it came with a very low estimate, but Kline's every instinct told him that the attribution was wrong. He placed a bid and the low asking price and bought the drawing outright. And that was the beginning of how Kline discovered Leonardo da Vinci's model drawing for the Infant Jesus and the Infant St. John. It is the first work by da Vinci to have surfaced in over a century. Leonardo’s Holy Child chronicles not only the story of this amazing discovery, from Kline's research all over the world to how exactly attributions work with regards to the old masters (most of their works are unsigned). Kline also sheds light on the idea of "connoisseurship," an often-overlooked facet of art history that's almost Holmesian in its intricacy and specificity.

Leonardo is the greatest, most multi-faceted and most mysterious of all Renaissance artists, but extraordinarily, considering his enormous reputation, this is the first full-length biography in English for several decades. Prize-winning author Charles Nicholl has immersed himself for five years in all the manuscripts, paintings and artefacts to produce an 'intimate portrait' of Leonardo. He uses these contemporary materials - his notebooks and sketchbooks, eye witnesses and early biographies, etc - as a way into the mental tone and physical texture of his life and has made myriad small discoveries about him and his work and his circle of associates. Among much else, the book identifies what Nicholl argues is an unknown portrait of the artist hanging in a church near Lodi in northern Italy. It also contains new material on his eccentric assistant Tomasso Masini, on his homosexual affairs in Florence, and on his curious relationship with a female model and/or prostitute from Cremona. A masterpiece of modern biography.

Greensburg’s Friday Evening Music Club celebrates 75th year
Greensburg’s Friday Evening Music Club has been making music for 75 years.
The club will celebrate the anniversary Friday at the first recital of the season.
“There’s really no other venue like it,” said member and pianist Matt Klumpp. “It allows you to make connections, it allows you to meet people that you would not ordinarily meet.”
Professional and amateur musicians alike are welcome in the club, which meets monthly during the school year to perform free concerts for the public.
It was founded in 1944 to promote the performing arts in Westmoreland County and give musicians a place to practice and socialize, Klumpp said.
“It was founded as an outlet for people who perform,” he said.
Pianist Ed Kuhn, chair of Seton Hill University’s music department, has been part of the music club since the 1970s. He learned piano from club founder and music teacher Mildred Gardner.
“(Gardner) just had the infectious passion for music and the arts that was not too common for this area, and it was really wonderful, and she really affected a lot of people’s lives,” Kuhn said.
Gardner would bring her students to music club recitals to perform.
The club gives a $1,000 Mildred Gardner Scholarship to a music major every year. Several past scholarship winners will perform at Friday’s recital.
Klumpp and Kuhn will perform a two-piano sonata composed by Gardner.
Klumpp found documents from throughout the club’s history through the Westmoreland County Historical Society. Those documents will be on display at Friday’s recital.
The club has changed a bit over the decades, Klumpp said.
“Originally the meetings were more like meetings, where members would only perform with each other, and there was a lot more business,” he said.
Now it’s more about the music. Recitals are free and open to the public.
In addition to the monthly public concerts, the club holds a “salon series” where members practice in each other’s homes.
“We get to perform serious, traditional classical music, which is kind of a rare thing these days,” Kuhn said.
Klumpp said the club gives professionals a chance to try new pieces in a low-pressure environment, and amateurs a place to keep their skills sharp.
“Where can a classical flutist go to perform on the flute, if it wasn’t for FEMC?” he asked.

Follow the news on Mexico May 5, 2021 Find out more Reporter murdered in northwestern Mexico’s Sonora state Help by sharing this information Reports Reporters Without Borders is appalled by the murder of Misael Tamayo Hernández on 10 November in the southern state of Guerrero, which was probably linked to his work as editor of the leading regional daily. He is the fifth journalist to have been killed this year in Mexico. Reporters Without Borders today said it was appalled by the murder of Misael Tamayo Hernández, the editor of the leading regional daily El Despertar de la Costa, who was found dead in a motel room in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo in the southern state of Guerrero on 10 November. He was the fifth journalist to be killed this year in Mexico.“Tamayo’s death brings the number of journalists killed or missing in Mexico since the start of 2006 to seven, which confirms it as the western hemisphere’s deadliest country for the press,” the press freedom organisation said. “The initial enquiries indicate that Tamayo was killed because of his newspaper’s investigative reporting on drug trafficking.”Reporters Without Borders added: “We call for the national prosecutor’s office specialising in attacks on the press to take over the case, and for both federal and local investigators to be given substantial resources. And they should give priority to the theory that Tamayo was killed on account of his work as a newspaper editor.”According to the news agency Notimex, Tamayo’s body was found at around 7:30 a.m. in a motel on the outskirts of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, on the road linking Guerrero to the neighbouring state of Michoacán. The state police told Reporters Without Borders it received an anonymous call at about 7:00 a.m. mentioning room No. 1 at the motel Venus.The police said Tamayo’s naked body was found face down with his hands tied behind his back with a belt. There were punctures in his right forearm suggesting he was given a fatal injection. Three small packets containing a white powder resembling cocaine were found in his trouser pockets.Motel employees said they saw him arrive at about 1:25 a.m. in a vehicle that left an hour later. Colleagues said he was due to meet with the head of security of a bus company who cannot for the moment be located. The police have taken three persons into custody – receptionist Mario Peñalosa, motel owner René Martínez Contreras and someone identified as Ivan López Flores.Tamayo’s newspaper – the leading daily in Guerrero state – had reported three days before his murder on the explosion of two grenades in an Ixtapa Zihuatanejo neighbourhood. Tamayo wrote an editorial under his own byline on 9 November about corruption within the Zihuatanejo water authority, CAPAZ. The newspaper also covers feuding among local drug traffickers, which has been especially deadly this year.

Because space will be limited, the FDA recommends that people interested in attending the meeting register no later than Jun 22. The agency also said people may submit written or electronic comments on the draft action plan. The official notice (see link below) gives details on registration and submission of comments. Should the action plan cover any foods other than fruits and vegetables that have not been treated with heat? Jun 15, 2004 (CIDRAP News) – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said today it is producing a comprehensive new action plan for reducing pathogenic contamination in fresh produce and wants public input on it. Does the FDA’s existing guidance on reducing microbial hazards in fresh produce need to be expanded or otherwise revised? “The draft of the 2004 produce action plan addresses all principal points between the farm and table where contamination of produce could occur,” the FDA announcement says. The plan covers fresh fruits and vegetables in whole condition or minimally processed (such as peeled or sliced but not cooked). It does not deal with processed products such as juice or farm products other than fruits and vegetables; tree nuts are excluded. In a Federal Register notice, the FDA said it will publish a draft of the plan before a public meeting scheduled Jun 29 to gather comments. The meeting is set for 1 p.m. at the Harvey W. Wiley Federal Building of the FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition in College Park, Md. What major practices contribute to the contamination of fresh produce by harmful pathogens? How should progress toward the goal of reducing illness related to consumption of produce be measured? The new plan is a continuation of the FDA’s “Produce and Imported Food Safety Initiative,” launched in 1997, the agency said. That effort led to the publication in 1998 of the “Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.” Although that document “has been well received and widely adopted,” foodborne illness outbreaks continue to occur, the agency said. The aim of the Jun 29 meeting is to gather the opinions of other government agencies and industry groups as well as the general public, officials said. The FDA published a set of nine questions to help focus comments at the meeting. Examples include: The new plan is titled “Produce Safety from Production to Consumption: An action Plan to Minimize Foodborne Illness Associated with Fresh Produce.” It reflects lessons learned from inspections of farms and produce packing facilities and investigations of foodborne disease outbreaks, the FDA said.
The opening weekend of college football is always a big deal for campuses across the country. For teams like USC or Michigan, they come in with high hopes for the season and are antsy to start their trek for a perfect season (on second thought, maybe not the Wolverines). For other teams, like the Minnesotas of the world, the upcoming season is a chance to start fresh. New coaches, high levels of optimism and most importantly, a 0-0 record.And then there is Virginia Tech.For the entire Hokie Nation, Saturday’s game was much anticipated. It wasn’t because they came into the game with a No. 9 ranking in the national polls, or were anxiously waiting to build on last season’s 10-3 record. In fact, the significance of this game had nothing at all to do with football.Since April 16th of this year, Virginia Tech students, fans and supporters have been in mourning. On that tragic day, 32 students were killed in the worst shooting spree in U.S. history as a gunman went on a shooting rampage in several campus buildings. National headlines for the next several days reported the gruesome events that transpired in Blacksburg, and everyone around the country felt the pain of those in the Virginia Tech community.That day in April, we were all Hokies. And Saturday, college football fans far and wide were Hokies once again, myself included.Watching the pregame events unfold on TV, I actually got the chills. It’s very rare that a sporting event can do this to me, but it happened Saturday. On the field before the teams came out, both the Virginia Tech marching band and the Corps of Cadets band took the field and played together, standing side by side. Painted on the turf were two ribbons with the VT logo commemorating that day and honoring the victims. Hokie cheerleaders released 32 orange balloons into the air, one for each victim.The team had its own way of paying tribute to those lost, and it came in the form of a lunch pail. The pail, which normally is used as a sort of motivational technique by the Virginia Tech defense, carried more importance than ever Saturday. Typically found inside the pail are defensive strategies, words of encouragement and the defensive goals for each game. During Saturday’s game, the names of all 32 victims were placed on a card and carried inside it, along with the motto that the community has come to embrace: “We will remember. We will prevail. We are Virginia Tech.”One of the most moving moments of the pregame ceremony took place on the videoboard screen in Lane Stadium and was broadcasted into the homes of fans across the country. A video tribute was played, showing emotional images from the day of the tragedy as well as messages of hope, faith and optimism. Finally, the players ran out onto the field to the sounds of roaring cheers from 66,000 maroon-and-orange-clad fans. Both Virginia Tech and their opponent, East Carolina, took the field at the same time as a sign of sportsmanship. Finally, a fly-over by two F-15 jets at the end of the national anthem concluded the pregame ceremony.After the time of remembrance was over, it was apparent that students, fans and players were finally ready for some football.The game itself was nothing special, and it appeared early on as if the Hokies were going to be tested by the lesser East Carolina team. With their offense struggling, Virginia Tech trailed for most of the first half. They would take the lead on an interception return for a touchdown right before halftime, finally giving the fans something to cheer about.Although Virginia Tech ended up winning the game 17-7, it was vividly clear that day there are times when sporting events become something more.For those in attendance, the game was a chance to come together as a community. The Hokies hadn’t had a major sporting event since the shooting, so Saturday’s game was one of the first opportunities for a large number of fans to console each other and help one another move on. Just as baseball did in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, college football provided an outlet of healing and an opportunity to forget the troubles of the world, even if only for a few hours. Six years ago, Major League Baseball felt it was right to move on after a few days of canceled games. Similarly, Virginia Tech needed this game to get past what had happened and to try and move on.As kids, we are told, “It’s just a game.” I know I’ve heard that more times than I can count. I’ll get upset when my team loses, and being from Minnesota, this happens far too often. Sometimes we fail to realize that there are things more important than sports — like the healing this game provided for Virginia Tech.It wasn’t just a game on Saturday. It was much more.
“They’re quite tough opponents who counter-attack really well and we’ll try to be wise to that,” said Aguero.Coach Lionel Scaloni gave a sober assessment of Argentina’s form after a third straight match in which they struggled for long periods and failed to entirely convince.“We’re satisfied because we’re in the next round … but we have to improve in every aspect,” he said.“Today at times the team played well and rid itself of fear.”And Scaloni hit out at claims back home that the squad was divided.“As long as we’re playing in the Copa, everyone’s pulling for the same side. There must be total unanimity,” he said.“Many players aren’t even 25 yet and it’s a positive thing for them to have played in this match.”However, he was scathing about the state of the Arena do Gremio pitch in Porto Alegre, which will host a both a quarter-final and a semi-final.“You can’t play on this pitch. Even so we tried to play, to press high, we played very well in the second half.”He had kind words for Qatar, who head home after a draw and two defeats from their three group games.“They’re a very worthy team with a great future, with young players,” he said.The Asian champions, who will host the 2022 World Cup, have been invited back to next year’s Copa America, which will be played in Argentina and Colombia.Share on: WhatsApp FILE PHOTO: Lionel MessiPorto Alegre, Brazil | AFP | Argentina will start from afresh in the Copa America after averting disaster with Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Qatar that sent them into the knockout stages, star Lionel Messi said.Goals from the Barcelona icon’s forward partners Lautaro Martinez and Sergio Aguero were enough to propel Argentina from bottom of Group B to second and into a quarter-final meeting with Venezuela on Friday at Rio’s Maracana stadium.“The important thing was to win to keep going in the Copa, to get through the group stage,” said Messi, who will turn 32 on Monday.“This will be an important boost for what’s to come … another Copa begins now.“This victory must give us strength and make us grow as a team.”Argentina’s performance was far from pitch-perfect, but they were good enough to beat a limited Qatar side, who gifted them the opening goal after four minutes when Bassam Hicham played a suicidal ball across his own box straight to Martinez.Messi admitted, though, that there were nerves in the Argentina camp.“It’s tough playing this kind of game due to the necessity, the obligation (to win), the fear of missing out.“But beyond that we played well and went through, which is what matters.”Aguero, who was recalled after he was dropped for the 1-1 draw with Paraguay, had a mixed game alongside Messi and Martinez.He worked hard to create chances for himself but lacked sharpness and precision in his finishing, until his brilliant goal where he burst past two defenders before shooting high into the far corner.“Luckily I was picked to start and luckily at times the three of us worked well together and we won,” he said.– Need to improve –Argentina will now play a side who beat them 3-1 in a friendly in Madrid in March.

Henderson denies Liverpool favourites for UCLby Ansser Sadiqa month agoSend to a friendShare the loveLiverpool captain Jordan Henderson does not see his side as being the favourites to win the Champions League.The Reds are defending their European crown, which only Real Madrid has managed in recent memory.While they are still blessed with an incredibly talented squad, Henderson does not see them as being the de facto favourites.Henderson said the following to the club’s official website: “I think it’s too early to be saying stuff like that. “For us, we’ve started the season really well and we just want to continue that on. “We still feel we can improve and still get better, so that’s what we try to do tomorrow night, try to give everything and start the campaign off really well. On Tuesday’s first Champions League clash of the season against Napoli, the Englishman added: “Maybe [we are favourites], but I feel as though being at Liverpool, everybody wants to beat you anyway. It’s the same for us – we want to beat everybody we play, they want to beat us.”For us, it’s the same as it always has been – to give everything in every single game we play. “We know that it’ll be a tough game tomorrow, they’re a great side but we’ve got to concentrate on what we can do.

TORONTO – Licensed marijuana producer Aphria Inc. dug in its heels Tuesday, determined to remain on the Toronto Stock Exchange despite a warning from the group that operates the index that pot firms with U.S. exposure could face delisting.Shares of Aphria (TSX:APH), which expanded into Florida in April, closed 13 per cent lower on Tuesday at $6.86, a day after the TMX Group issued a notice that U.S. federal laws which state that marijuana is an illicit Schedule 1 controlled substance take precedence over state laws.Canada’s biggest exchange operator warned companies that operate in states where it is legal that they are not complying with its listing requirements and could face removal from the exchange when it wraps a review at the end of the year.Aphria’s chief executive Vic Neufeld, who has maintained that the TMX was aware of its plans to invest in the U.S., said Tuesday the exchange operator’s notice blindsided his company.“This is very irresponsible of the TSX,” he said in an interview.“How in the world are they going to adjudicate and apply a very broad statement like that?”The news came as the Leamington, Ont.-based company started a previously arranged bought-deal financing agreement to raise $80 million, issuing more than 11 million shares at a price of $7.25 per share with an additional option for 1.6 million shares — about five per cent higher than what it was publicly trading for Tuesday.Yet, Neufeld said he has no intention of moving to the smaller marijuana stock-friendly Canadian Securities Exchange even after the Canadian Securities Administrators on Monday issued guidance essentially gave the green light to allow it to continue to house cross-border marijuana companies as long as the listers disclosure certain risks when investing south of the border due to conflicting state and federal laws.“It’s not our preferred option, obviously not. We want to stay on the big board,” Neufeld said. He added that he aims to start a dialogue with the TMX Group to find a “win-win” solution, and has no plans to walk away from their U.S. ambitions.Neufeld said Tuesday that if it cannot reach a compromise with the TMX, there are some other options at its disposal, including a spin-off of its U.S. activities to be listed on the CSE.However, he viewed the TSX notice yesterday as a “door opener” to a conversation, with the hopes of a solution by the end of the year.The duelling messages from the TMX Group and the CSA late Monday triggered a sector-wide selloff on Tuesday, with shares of Canopy Growth down as much as nine per cent, and Emblem Cannabis Corp. shares down as much as 16 per cent before bouncing back slightly later in the day.However, the grey area creates an opportunity for the alternative CSE to ramp up its status as the main access point to Canadian capital markets for cannabis-based companies with U.S. interests.CSE chief executive Richard Carleton said of the 50 or so cannabis-based businesses listed on their exchange, there are about a dozen with U.S. exposure that account for roughly 10 per cent of the trading activity.“It’s quite likely that we’ll see more companies access Canadian public capital markets through us as a result,” he said in an interview Tuesday.Meanwhile, Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX:WEED), Aphria’s main rival that does not have U.S. interests, praised the move, calling it a step in the right direction.“We take our responsibility to our shareholders seriously and as such have chosen to conduct business in jurisdictions where it is federally legal to do so,” Canopy chairman and chief executive Bruce Linton said.Linton added that he believes the CSA’s stance that companies can violate U.S. federal laws regarding marijuana provided that they simply disclose it is “completely ludicrous and no person in Canada would think that’s practical or logical.”– with files from David Hodges in Toronto

Hi Italo – I’m a novice (but eager!) fisherman who is looking to get into some steelhead this fall / winter. Last year was my first year on the rivers and I had very limited luck – a couple hook ups and nothing landed. I tried a variety of presentations from roe bags and beads to flies and marabou jigs. I’ve just started getting the hang of my centre pin setup and I really want to get into some better action this year. My local tribs are the Beaver River and Bighead River off Georgian Bay. Because I’m such a rookie I don’t know if my lack of success is due to inexperience, poor river conditions, lack of fish, or something else. Can you suggest any river sections to hit in the South end of Georgian Bay? I’ve heard the Nottawasaga River often has a great run but the river is so large I wouldn’t even know where to start. Thanks for your help!Posted on September 26th, 2019
Hi Alex, sounds like you have a general idea of what to use and how to use it and that your biggest challenge is getting a better understanding of fish locations in larger river systems. The larger Georgian Bay tributaries may not be the best locations for you to get experience reading water and locating fish since they can be more scattered in larger tributaries then in smaller one. Also, if there is a lack of obstructions (water falls, dams, etc.), steelhead can move through sections fast after rains and higher water flows which also makes intercepting them more of a challenge. I would encourage you either smaller tributaries that will have more angler competition, but where your chances of finding fish will be higher, or fish sections of rivers like the Beaver & Saugeen downstream from the dams where fish will congregate under the right conditions. Remember that especially for tributary steelhead fishing, timing and water conditions is crucial. Knowing when to hit the streams with ideal water conditions is very important…God bless you.

It seems I misunderstood the term fuzzy logic myself. Fuzzy logic means
if I search for a word, for example 'programmer', it will return matches
to the words 'program', 'programming','programmable' etc.
I.e., it will somewhat intelligently return words that are similar in
what they mean, using grammar rules (chopping off endings of words and
making them match others).

How to Save Money on Car Loan -Purchasing a car is a significant financial decision, and for many, securing a car loan is a necessary step in the process. However, car loans can come with high interest rates and lengthy repayment periods, leading to substantial costs over time. If you’re looking to save money on your car loan and reduce the overall financial burden, this article will provide you with essential tips and strategies to achieve just that.
Tips on How to Save Money on Car Loan
Here are some of the essential tips on how to save money on car loan;
Improve Your Credit Score
Your credit score plays a crucial role in determining the interest rate you’ll receive on your car loan. Before applying for a loan, it’s essential to review your credit report and identify any inaccuracies or areas that need improvement. Paying bills on time, reducing debt, and maintaining a low credit utilization ratio will help raise your credit score, enabling you to qualify for lower interest rates.
Comparison Shop for the Best Loan
Just as you would compare prices when shopping for a car, it’s equally important to shop around for the best car loan. Different lenders offer varying interest rates, loan terms, and fees. Take the time to research and compare loan options from banks, credit unions, online lenders, and dealerships. Use online loan comparison tools to simplify the process and identify the most favorable terms.
Make a Larger Down Payment
One effective way to save money on your car loan is to make a larger down payment. By putting more money upfront, you reduce the loan amount and, subsequently, the interest charges over time. A higher down payment may also enable you to negotiate better loan terms with your lender.
Opt for a Shorter Loan Term
While a longer loan term may seem appealing due to lower monthly payments, it often results in higher interest costs over the life of the loan. Choosing a shorter loan term, such as 36 or 48 months, can help you save money by reducing the overall interest paid. Additionally, shorter loan terms allow you to build equity in your car more quickly.
Refinance Your Existing Loan
If you have an existing car loan with a high interest rate, it may be worth exploring the option of refinancing. Refinancing involves replacing your current loan with a new loan that offers better terms, such as a lower interest rate or shorter repayment period. By refinancing, you can potentially save a significant amount of money over the course of the loan.
Negotiate the Interest Rate
Don’t be afraid to negotiate the interest rate with your lender. If you have a strong credit history or have received better loan offers from other institutions, use that as leverage during the negotiation process. Even a slight reduction in the interest rate can result in substantial savings over time. APPLY NOW FOR CAR LOAN
Avoid Unnecessary Add-ons
When purchasing a car, dealerships often offer additional add-ons, such as extended warranties, GAP insurance, or VIN etching. While these extras may provide some benefits, they also come with additional costs. Consider whether you genuinely need these add-ons and carefully evaluate the associated costs before including them in your loan.
Make Biweekly Payments
Instead of sticking to the traditional monthly payment schedule, consider making biweekly payments. By dividing your monthly payment in half and paying it every two weeks, you’ll make 26 half-payments throughout the year, effectively making an extra full payment. This strategy can help you pay off your car loan faster, saving you money on interest charges.
Pay Extra Whenever Possible
Whenever you have additional funds available, consider making extra payments toward your car loan. By paying more than the required monthly payment, you’ll reduce the principal balance faster, resulting in less interest accruing over time. Before making extra payments, confirm with your lender that there are no prepayment penalties.
Avoid Loan Prepayment Penalties
Before finalizing a car loan agreement, carefully review the terms and conditions, specifically looking for any prepayment penalties. Some lenders impose penalties if you pay off your loan early or make extra payments. To save money on your car loan, it’s essential to choose a loan without prepayment penalties, allowing you the flexibility to pay off the loan ahead of schedule.
Maintain the Value of Your Car
Taking care of your car’s maintenance and keeping it in good condition can indirectly save you money on your car loan. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, and scheduled inspections, can prevent costly repairs and ensure that your vehicle maintains its value over time. A well-maintained car can be sold for a higher price if you decide to sell or trade it in before the loan term ends.
Consider Used or Certified Pre-Owned Cars
Purchasing a brand-new car may be enticing, but it often comes with a higher price tag and depreciation. To save money on your car loan, consider buying a used or certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle. Used cars generally have lower purchase prices and may offer lower interest rates compared to new cars. CPO vehicles undergo rigorous inspections and come with extended warranties, providing peace of mind and potential savings on repairs.
Resist the Temptation of Upselling
When you visit a dealership, the salesperson may try to upsell you on a more expensive car or additional features that you don’t necessarily need. Stick to your budget and resist the temptation to upgrade beyond what you can afford. By staying within your budget, you’ll be able to secure a car loan that aligns with your financial goals and prevents unnecessary debt.
Explore Alternative Financing Options
While a traditional car loan may be the most common financing option, it’s worth exploring alternative options that can potentially save you money. For example, some credit unions offer lower interest rates on car loans compared to banks. Additionally, peer-to-peer lending platforms or online loan marketplaces may provide competitive rates and more flexible loan terms. Be sure to research and consider all available options before committing to a car loan.
Boost Your Income and Savings
Increasing your income and building up your savings can have a positive impact on your ability to save money on a car loan. Consider taking on a side gig or freelance work to generate additional income that can be used to make larger down payments or pay off the loan faster. Moreover, building an emergency fund can protect you from unexpected expenses and prevent the need to rely on credit or take out additional loans.
Saving money on your car loan requires careful consideration, research, and proactive financial planning. By improving your credit score, shopping around for the best loan terms, making a larger down payment, opting for a shorter loan term, and refinancing when necessary, you can significantly reduce the overall cost of your car loan. Additionally, avoiding unnecessary add-ons, making biweekly payments, paying extra whenever possible, and maintaining the value of your car will help you save money and achieve financial freedom sooner. Remember, every small step you take towards saving money on your car loan can have a substantial impact on your long-term financial well-being.
